Frequently Asked Questions
The following article describes where VPN Tracker stores its data in case you need to make manual backups instead of using Time Machine.
VPN Tracker stores all its data files in the standard system locations as
recommended by Apple. Depending on the fact if these are system-wide or
per-user files, they are either found in /Library (system-wide)
or ~/Library (per-user), where ~ is a placeholder
meaning "home of the current active user".
To access the system-wide library folder:
- In Finder Choose "Go" > "Go to Folder ..."
- Enter
/Library
To access the user library folder:
- In Finder Choose "Go" > "Go to Folder ..."
- Enter
~/Library
VPN shortcuts, all information related to your equinux ID, accounting data, scanner results, and window positions are per-user settings.
For a full backup of all your settings, you need to backup the following files and folders:
/Library/Application Support/VPN Tracker 365/Library/Preferences/com.vpntracker.365mac.plist~/Library/Application Support/VPN Tracker 365~/Library/Preferences/com.vpntracker.365mac.plist
