How To Change the Data Directory Location
This article was previously published under Q123471
To move the SourceSafe data directory to a location different from the
SourceSafe location, follow these steps:
- Copy the DATA directory to the new directory.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you copy all subdirectories even if they are empty.
SourceSafe will not work correctly if they are not present. SourceSafe
users must have FULL rights in the target directory.
To reduce confusion, you may want to delete the old directory once you
have successfully copied the DATA directory to its new location. - Edit the SRCSAFE.INI file using any text editor. Change this line:
to this line:
Data_Path = <new path>\data_dir
See "SourceSafe Concepts and Configuration" Manual for version 3.x, p.154.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
