SO I am relocating all critical files to a single location that can be backed up easily. The HD has been partitioned to C: for the OS, and D: where I am placing ALL data files.. the plan is for every thing on D: to be backed up to an external USB drive SO.. the *.WAB default location is on C: and I am trying to change that to a subdirectory on the D: partition.. thanks
