Actually, I read the entire page and didn't see anything on how to locate my data directory elsewhere.
The snippet you have posted above is under "RESTORES", which also doesn't help all that much because restoration is restoration no matter where the files are and, you'll recall, what I want is to locate the data files conveniently and separately from the "engine" files.
I pretty much tuned out the doc when it said "Copy the whole folder WAMP" and then "Google for some free Sync program"; that's why I said I didn't want to have to keep 150+ MB of infrastructure in sync.
Now, if I have missed some tip here that says "here's what you do to have wmap (or mysql) look in a completely different tree for the mysql data files", then I would very much appreciate a clear pointer to that tip.
Thanks again & HAND
:-D
