Is there anyway to change the location of the WeatherCat data files?

Apologies - missed this the first time 'round.

It isn't possible to change it - its current location guarantees the user has full access to the files (which is important to me  :) ).

Is there some reason you want to change it?

Wanted to get it off the OS drive onto my Drobo for the redundancy.

Ok, thanks for the info.

You can set the backup destination to your Drobo - that way you'll have a daily backup there.
