    Where does Umbraco store data?

    So this is a basic question, but one I need answering.

    How does Ummbraco store data? Is it stored in a database and if so, where would that be if I have installed Umbraco locally?

    Also, where does it store uploaded images, videos, etc?

    Thanks.

    It stores data in the database but it also cahces it in a local XML file. Look in /data/umbraco.config for the cached XML representation of your content.

    And media files are stores under /media

    Cheers

    Umbraco stores some data in database and some data on the filesystem, and in some cases a little of both.

    Along with the locations Paul mentioned it also stores usercontrols, stylesheets, scripts, xslt, config and masterpage files on the filesystem.

    Hi John and welcome to our.

    If you are running your Umbraco installation on a SQL CE database, then you can find the database in the /App_Data folder in your umbraco installation.

    Hope this helps,
