List pgadmin-support
Where is this section does it need to be placed?  We have tried several different iterations.

# Data directory for storage of config settings etc. This shouldn't normally
# need to be changed - it's here as various other settings depend on it.
# On Windows, we always store data in %APPDATA%\pgAdmin. On other platforms,
# if we're in server mode we use /var/lib/pgadmin, otherwise ~/.pgadmin
if IS_WIN:
    # Use the short path on windows
    DATA_DIR = os.path.realpath(
        os.path.join(fs_short_path(env('APPDATA')), u"pgAdmin")
    )
else:
    if SERVER_MODE:
        DATA_DIR = '/var/lib/pgadmin'
    else:
        DATA_DIR = os.path.realpath(os.path.expanduser(u'~/.pgadmin/'))

Hi Andrew,

Yes you can. Please refer - https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/4.24/server_deployment.html#configuration. Make sure you escape the backslashes when setting the paths (eg - D:\\Home)

All,
     I am curious if there is a way to redirect user data from being stored in 'AppData' to being stored in a different file share (i.e D:\Home\"username"\pgAdmin\

I'm using Windows Server 2019 for pgAdmin 4.

I'm looking to do this to resolve users losing data when servers are rebuilt during AWS AMI's updates.

Thanks in advance,
