How can i move the ThingWorx backup to another drive or folder?

I need to move backups becasue i do not have enough space in my current drive.

Thanks

you can use the platform-settings.json to point to a different storage location.

hello,

i checked platform-settings.json in the folder: ThingWorxPlatform and i found only a username and password for PostgreSQL with the JDBC url.
