SuperCHANNELAny JDBC drivers that you have installed.C:\Program Files\STR\SuperCHANNEL\jar\drivers
Production SystemAll configuration files. These may be located on a server or on client machines, or partly on both depending on the installation and configuration requirements. Start with the file sa2ps.config.xml.C:\ProgramData\STR\SuperSERVER SA
SuperCROSS

All configuration files (this includes all ini files and xml files). These may be located on a server or on client machines, or partly on both depending on the installation and configuration requirements.

C:\ProgramData\STR\SuperCROSS
SuperSTAR DatabasesAll sxv4 database files and any configuration files that are co-located with the sxv4. 
Annotations RepositoryThe annotations repository for each sxv4 that has annotations defined.The annotations SQLite database is co-located with the sxv4 it relates to; the filename uses the convention <databaseid>.sxv4.sqlite.db.
