My hard drive crashed several weeks ago. Prior to that I had difficulties for a year or so making image backups (could not). I have a new blank drive, that I am layering back in.

But the strategies I worked on for the last year is gone.

How can I relocate the default WL file locations for strategies, data sets (lists only, not underlying data) to another drive\folder location that is automatically backed up to Google Drive and Microsoft Onedrive in the cloud?

Separately, I notice that when I reinstalled Fidelity Active Trader Pro on my new blank drive, the settings, the various chart screen views, and various chart lines all came back, the way I had them pre-disk crash. This is new apparently. Wow! Nice! ATP must have saved these of my settings on the web somehow. I know this is new, because in many years previously, I have had to reinstall ATP several times and always had a pain recreating my default settings and chart lines.

It would be really nice if Fidelity and Wealth Lab can team to backup WL user's personal data / strategies, strategy folders, settings onto the web somehow, so we can get similar automatic restoration results.

Thanks.

1 - Please check out this FAQ > Can I relocate the whole "Data" folder (or only some subfolder) of my Wealth-Lab 6 from C: to a different drive or directory? I guess you have to create a symlink for GDrive/OneDrive to pick it up.

2 - It was always possible to backup and download private Strategies from our website, however, I'm not sure if this capability still exists after website's last redesign. Nonetheless, reinstalling WLP does not affect your settings and you can always do a backup. If image backup isn't available, file backup would certainly do the job.

For Strategies you can connect a network drive (User Guide: Reference > Dialogs > Strategy Explorer > Network Path to Strategies) or even better, use Dropbox. It doesn't change the built-in Data\Strategies location, but if you put all your personal strategies in a Dropbox folder, they're backed up automatically.
