How to move the FileStore to a non-default location.

Note: Before proceeding, please log-in as an administrator, go to the Server Settings page and from the File Store Repository Service field take note of the port being used. This port is normally 5787 but your setup may be different. You will need this port in the following steps.

  1. Go to the machine on which Acronis Access is installed.
  2. Stop the Acronis Access File Repository Server service.
  3. Stop the Acronis Access Tomcat service.
  4. You will find the current FileStore in the folder which you selected with the Configuration Utility.
  5. Copy or move the entire FileStore folder with all its contents to the target point, like so:
    D:\MyCustom Folder\FileStore
  6. Open the Configuration Utility.
  7. In the File Repository tab, change the path of the FileStore to the new path where you've moved the FileStore.
  8. Change the FileStore port if needed. If you change the FileStore port, you must also change the File Store Repository Endpoint in the Sync & Share File Repository settings.
  9. If the file storage for the File Repository is on a remote network share, configure the service account to be one that has permissions to that network share. This account must also have read and write access to the Repository folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\Access\File Repository\Repository) to write the log file.
  10. Start Acronis Access File Repository Server service
  11. Start the Acronis Access Tomcat service.
  12. Done.
