Change AppData on Windows?

[bengalih]

I’ve seen a couple posts here and there on this, but I didn’t really see a definitive answer.

Is it possible to use a different appdata folder on Windows other than “C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone”?

I moved the entire application to a new directory and updated the service manager to point to the proper exe location. This new location shows as my “startup directory”, but the “appdata directory” goes back to “C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone” and it creates new config files there.

I prefer to consolidate all my automation under a single directory for backup purposes and was able to do this with sickbeard, couchpotato, sabnzbd, etc.

thanks

You can symlink it or use the --data= command line option to change it.

OK great…that’s exactly what I was looking for.
Is there a doc that I’m missing somewhere which discusses those? I couldn’t find any command line parameters.

I was looking for the same thing last night. This is the only place I’ve seen it mentioned: https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/311
