Did you modify dir.root property in alfresco-global.properties file, pointing to the new alf_data directory?

Hi borzoi,

Yes, I did. And the alfresco-global.properties file was attached as text file.

Thank you.

You have your alf_data on your T: drive and the solr index is still pointed to the c: drive. If you don't change that in your postgresql directory then you will have two locations to backup:

1. T:drive alf_data
2. C:drive solr folder in your default alf_data folder

Start with editing the file that should be named ctl.exe (I'm sorry its named ctl.sh in linux which is what I use) you'll have to do some digging to find it. I have it located in linux at…

install/postgresql/scripts/ctl.sh

I also modified setenv.sh file to point the PGDATA to my separate location:

install/postgresql/bin/setenv.sh

I realize this is for windows, but you may have some luck if you find files that are similar to help you point to the new location.
