Sorry for the thread necro, but I was searching for a solution to move the Realms database to a different drive/partition. I just moved

C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\LWD Technology, Inc\Realm Works

to

D:\LWD Technology, Inc\Realm Works

Then I opened a command line in "C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming" and used the following command to create the Junction point:

mklink /j "LWD Technology, Inc" "D:\LWD Technology, Inc"

Window will respond with:

Junction created for LWD Technology, Inc <<===>> D:\LWD Technology, Inc

I've had no issues opening the database and all prior settings and preferences are retained and working.

Database backups and compressing databases works.

In short, I've not come across any issues whatsoever.

I looked at the two threads that Valyar found (none of the naysayers bothered to post a link or describe what issues would be caused by this approach). The first describes someone using the junction point as describe in this thread with no issues mentioned, so it supports this approach. The second just discusses moving backup location. Which is a different issue and you can already set your backup location.

Anyway, follow this advice at your own risk, but junction points seem to work just fine.
