Re: Moving C2 Audits

Ok - I've been told that audits get written to the default data directory.
However, we have dedicated drives for log and data files (E: and F:, for
example). What I had to do to get the C2 audits (trace files) to write to
our data directory was:

1) launch Enterprise Manager
2) right-click and Properties
3) Database Settings tab
4) Change 'default data directory' to F:\<location>
5) Stop and restart the services

Good to go. The traces will begin writing to the drive you specified as
your default data directory.

I'm not seeing or finding how to move the location of the C2 Audit files.
I used the pretty standard script to enable C2 Auditing:

EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced option', 1
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

EXEC sp_configure 'c2 audit mode', 1
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

However, it would be nice if I could move them from the C:\ drive to a
folder already being backed up since we need these audit trails for at
least one year (Government thing). Any ideas? I'll keep looking, but I
know we get pretty quick responses in here also!

Thanks
Allen
