MobileAsset v7: Database Manager: how to reset the default backup location

Authors list

In MobileAsset v7's Database Manager, the location of the backup file is set on the Backup tab, at the lower left. At a new installation, this location shows <Default SQL Server Location>, which results in a filename of "WaspTrackAsset_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.BAK" (with the date & time values specified automatically).

However, if this location is changed by the user, the full filename must be specified by the user every time, and the date & time are not automatically set.

How to revert this location back to the default:

If it's open, close Database Manager.

In Windows File Explorer, browse to the following path (use the appropriate username and random characters from your installation):

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Wasp_Barcode_Technologies\WaspDatabaseManager.exe_Url_[random characters]\1.0.0.0

Edit the user.config file in Notepad or other text editor. Delete the BackupLocation path that appears between <value> and </value> (see screenshots below). Save the file.

Reopen Database Manager. The backup file location should be <Default SQL Server Location>.
