Re: Not a good look here.

As with Mr/Ms Sausage Factory. I've never stored anything voluntarily in a folder that is addressed indirectly while buried away inside the OS' folders. One that combines "documents" ( my stuff) with "Settings" (the software's data). Furthermore, I don't particularly want my stuff on the same partition as the OS. I always make a data partition,That way a reformat or corruption by the OS has a good chance of leaving my stuff intact.

And yes I do automatic backups. Various. To a different drive and to an external drive/machine shared folder.

Anyone who trusts precious data to a system folder would probably leave their wallet on their beach towel and go off for a swim.
