File Locations and Database Backup
Select a path and destination folder for the SQL Server Express Database (if selected) and the Desktop Authority Manager. Please reference the File Paths table in the appendices for default path locations. Press the Browse button next to the desired component to select a different path. Once the file locations are set, click Next to continue.

Note: The SQL Server Express Database installation folder option will only be available when Desktop Authority is installing a local instance of Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition. |
Because this is an upgrade from an earlier version of Desktop Authority you have the opportunity to backup your databases before they are upgraded to the new format. If you would like to back them up for safekeeping, select the appropriate checkboxes and specify a location. The default location is in the MS SQL folder. If you want to specify a different folder, it must be local to the MS SQL server and have enough permissions for the backup to be created.
Note: Be sure you have enough disk space for the back up to be created.
