Is there a way to either create the database or save the data in another drive?
I am using Win11, not my choice since 1998, and, not surprisingly, the WinOS had a crash;
I've been using Windows on (local, telecommuting) corporate PCs for 25 years. Never has the hardware crashed or Windows become so corrupted that C: needed to be wiped?
I lost all kinds of information including PostgreSQL (postgres (PostgreSQL) 18.0), its databases, tables, data, etc., what a nightmare!
Where are your backups? Why don't you have backups?
To not have this happen again, I'd like to create the databases in the E: drive or have the tables stored in that drive, please note that I am not talking about backing the data in the E: drive, but to actually have the databases in the E: drive. Can this be done and is it practical to do this?
Of course. The same way you created them on C:. Either with a GUI or command prompt.
