File Storage

The system uses two kinds of storage

File system
Database

Database

The database is used to store most of your data. Grades, contact information and settings are stored in the database.

File system

The file system is used to store cache data, pictures, attachment and published PDF reports.

When configured initially the system was set with a $CFG→storeroot

Cached files are stored in $CFG→storeroot/.cache
System assets, pictures, icons are stored in $CFG→storeroot/.asset
Data files and attachments are stored in $CFG→storeroot/.data
Backups of database and files are stored in $CFG→storeroot/.backup

The data in the CACHE folder may be deleted at anytime. The data in the BACKUP folder may also be deleted at any but it is recommended you download and save these files periodically.
