Andy  Devlin posted a new comment:
To officially change the storage path, you define it in carbon.conf
using the LOCAL_DATA_DIR setting. This is the directory where Carbon
(the cache) writes .wsp files. The WHISPER_DIR in storage-schemas.conf
should then point to this same LOCAL_DATA_DIR to ensure the Whisper
reader can find them. Once the new path is configured, you must manually
move your existing Whisper database files to the new location for
Grafana or your webapp to access the historical data.

For a seamless way to manage and access large configuration backups or
databases across devices, consider using<a

iPhone</a>. It offers ample free cloud storage, making it easy to
transfer and safeguard important files.
