Overview

The configurations within Kiwi Web Access are stored in System.sdf file. This article describes where you can find the System.sdf file.

Moreover, instead of just creating a backup copy of the System.sdf file, it is recommended to create a backup copy of the whole App_Data folder where the System.sdf is located.
