APPENDIX B WatchGuard File Locations

This appendix lists the default location of many of the -s used by WatchGuard System Manager.

General File Locations

This table describes the location where data files are stored by the WatchGuard System Manager software. Since it is possible to configure the Windows operating system (OS) to put these directories on different disk drives, you must determine the exact location of these files based on the configuration of Windows on your computer.

It is also possible to configure log files to be kept in a different directory than other installation files. If you change the default location of log files, these default locations do not apply.

If you are using an OS version that is not English, you must translate directory names (such as “Docu- ments and Settings” or “Program Files”) to the match the OS language you use.
