Paths Dialog

 

Use this dialog to specify paths and file names for ChemPoint utility and support files.

 

Backup Directory -- This is the default directory for backing up ChemPoint data files. It is strongly recommended that you be disciplined in your backup program. The best locations for backup data are:

  1. On a server that is backed up regularly.
  2. On external high-capacity media such as a Zip drive.
  3. On a different physical hard drive on the same computer.

It is recommended that you do not back up to a different directory on the same physical hard drive, because you will not be able to recover your data if the hard drive fails.
