change location of \TrueImageHome\SystemState\SystemState.xml

Thread needs solution

Hello,

Question:
Is it possible to move SystemState.xml file to another location than default one. I can't find config nor registry entry where this is defined. Can you help finding it ?

Context:
I need to keep frequently used files (log, and some config files on a separate disk that fast but size limited) that allows us to improve performance of system and reduce writes on primary disk keeping it available for application server while frequent and small files are also hosted prompty.

Process Monitor shows frequent activity of this config file:

Hello Petar,

Let me shed some light on your concern.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to change the location of the SystemState.xml file. Those setting are implemented in the kernel of the software, so to change them we'll need to make a lot of changes.

However I'll forward your request to the responsible person, so probably this feature will be implemented in future versions of the software.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

I'm running trueimage home 2011. I'd like to prevent trueimagemonitor writing continuously systemstate.xml on my primary hard disk.

2 options here:

- disable trueimageminitor.exe

or

- move systemstate.xml somewhere else

Can you help on how to achieve this?

You can safely disable trueimagemonitor in the startup items.
What you will lose:
- notifications popup of started/completed/failed tasks,
- system tray icon
- ability to start the app from the system tray icon.

Great! Found this in the registry at

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Disabled! Thanks!
