| 1 | XWiki writes its data into two directories that live outside the web application: a [[permanent directory>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.directories.permanent-directory.WebHome]], whose content has to survive a restart and an upgrade, and a [[temporary directory>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.directories.temporary-directory.WebHome]], whose content XWiki is free to throw away. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | Neither of them is set in the wiki administration. The permanent directory comes from a Java system property or from ##xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.properties##, and the temporary directory from the servlet container, so both belong to the installation of the instance rather than to its day-to-day administration. |
