The backups made by the backup script are full backups. To change the backup location, you have to edit the file "C:\Program Files\Symphony Video, Inc\Build Scripts\backupDatabase.build". You can do so with Notepad or some other text editor. At the top of the file, look for the line:

<property name="localBackupDirectory" value="C:\Program Files\Symphony Video, Inc\Backup" overwrite="false" />

and change the "value" to where you want the backup to go. Above it the default location.

Follow these steps:

  1. Create a new backup directory at the desired location
  2. Open "C:\Program Files\Symphony Video, Inc\Build Scripts\backupDatabase.build" with a text editor
  3. Look for <property name="localBackupDirectory" value="..." overwrite="false" />
  4. Set the value="" to the directory you created in step 1.
  5. Test the change by executing the "backupDatabase.bat" file in the same directory
