File and folder hierarchy

Overview

This article lists the names and locations of Incydr application and log files on user devices. If you need to access logs, identity files, and other essential files and folders for troubleshooting, refer to this guide to find them.

Insider risk agent

Backup agent

Windows

The Windows installation folder can vary based on the architecture (32- or 64-bit) of the backup agent and the operating system. If you installed 32-bit software on a 64-bit Windows operating system, replace C:\Program Files with C:\Program Files (x86) in the paths listed in this article.

The file structure of the backup agent varies based on installation type: for everyone (default) or per user.

Installed for everyone (default)

Use Folder
Main application

C:\Program Files\Code42

Service log files C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan\log
UI log files

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\CrashPlan\log

Transient caches C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan\cache
Identity file C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan\.identity

Installed per user

Depending on your network environment, user profiles can be either Local or Roaming.

Use Folder
Main application

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\<Local or Roaming>\Programs\Code42

Service log files

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\<Local or Roaming>\CrashPlan\log

UI log files

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\<Local or Roaming>\CrashPlan\log

Transient caches

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\<Local or Roaming>\CrashPlan\cache

Identity file

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\<Local or Roaming>\CrashPlan\.identity

Considerations for Windows

The file paths above assume that the architecture of the backup agent (32- or 64-bit) matches the architecture of the Windows operating system. If you installed 32-bit software on a 64-bit Windows operating system, replace C:\Program Files with C:\Program Files (x86) in the paths listed above.

Software Architecture Operating System Architecture Software Install Location
32-bit 32-bit C:\Program Files
64-bit 64-bit C:\Program Files
32-bit 64-bit C:\Program Files (x86)
