Is it possible to create a DMA backup in a different data drive?

By running the backups of a DMA/DMS, Dataminer creates the file in the installation drive (usually C:) and then moves/copies the file to another location but is it possible to directly create the backup in a different drive? Especially if I’m running out of space.

Hey Edson I did a procedure to accomplish what you want to do via symbolic links, here you can find the MOP: https://community.dataminer.services/documentation/take-a-backup-using-a-symbolic-link-to-another-drive/
