How To Change the Location of the Auto Backup Files

You can change the location of the folder that StockMarketEye uses to store the automatic backup files.

To do that, first follow the steps on the link below to create the "sme_overrides.properties" file:

https://www.stockmarketeye.com/users-guide/advanced/how-to-change-locale.html#changing-locale-on-windows

Then, in step #4 on that page, instead of adding the lines described on that page, add the following line to your sme_overrides.properties file:

sme.autobkup.dir=C:\MyFiles\Database\StockMarketEye40\autobkup

You can set the location to be anywhere you choose. If you are using a Mac, you would change the line to something like this:

sme.autobkup.dir=/Users/myname/Documents/StockMarketEye/autobkup

Save the file and then restart StockMarketEye. When you quit StockMarketEye the next time, it should save the automatic backup files in that location you specified in the sme_overrides.properties file.
