Cloud Backups

The cloud backup service that I use DOES NOT backup Program files. I've talked to them about adding that to the menu but they say I can't.

Investor/RT seems to store most if not all of its important files in the Program (x86) folder. Can the location of that data be relocated to a Documents folder?

Clound Backup of Investor/RT

The Program Files (x86) folder is the installation folder.  The key data is stored by default in the folder...

C:\Users\Chad\InvestorRT

(replace Chad with your Windows username).

So that is the folder you need to be backing up.  Optimally, you need to schedule the backup at a time when Investor/RT is shut down...otherwise you can have problems due to files being in use by Investor/RT.

So it would seem that I need to re-install Investor RT?

If so, is there a way to "mass" save all my chart definitions?

Chuck,

Chuck,

Are you saying you don't have an InvestorRT folder inside your user folder?  Why do you need to reinstall Investor/RT?

I use BackBlaze as my cloud backup. They will not backup c:/program files. The default for install of Investor RT is to that directory.

With the recent updates, I changed the install location for Investor/RT to a directory that BackBlaze will backup. Problem solved.
