Drake Accounting - Default Backup and Data Paths
Article #: 16373
Last Updated: October 21, 2024
The default data path is shown on the Station Type window. To access the Station Type window, open the Client Selector and click this icon: 
Note In Drake Accounting 2020 and prior, the default data path is located under Firm > Firm Information Setup.
The Backup path is available under Firm > Firm Information Setup. The drive letter is not shown, as it is not known before installation of the software. The paths also do not show the main DrakeAccounting20YY folder (where 20YY is the software year).
By not naming the drive or main folder, the default path tells the software to look in the DrakeAccounting20YY folder on the drive on which the software is installed.
If you change the default path to a different folder or drive, the entire path will be shown.
