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.
