Back Up

lindsaysmith000
I have been trying to back-up my Zotero library as per the 'frequently asked questions' guidelines. However I cannot find my Zotero files ANYWHERE on my computer. No file exists in the Mozilla Firefox folder in my Program Files or apparently anywhere else on my C drive. I know the files must exist somewhere on my computer but when I search for Zotero in all files and folders the comp finds nothing? Please help.

    "The quickest and most reliable way to find your Zotero data directory is through the “Show Data Directory” button in the Advanced tab of your Zotero Preferences window."
    If that doesn't work (although there is no reason it shouldn't), follow the link and try some of the other suggestions there.

    Thanks very much Adam. That's brilliant. I should be able to copy from there.

    Bizarrely however if I try to follow manually the file path which comes up the folders do not appear to exist.

    google " windows show hidden files and folders " (without quotation marks)
