Where Does Portfolio Performance Store Data?
Portfolio Performance data files, sidecars and workspace folders.
Last updated
Portfolio Performance splits user data from app state. Data files live wherever saved with sidecar GUI settings optional beside them. Autosaves and backups land next to data.
Workspaces follow per-OS roots with Eclipse metadata inside. A toggle decides sidecar versus workspace UI storage. Keep data, sidecars and workspace together.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Portfolio Performance?
Copy the data file plus sidecar and autosaves with the app closed. The workspace holds UI state per OS. Restoring means putting all three back before launch.
Is there a fixed data folder?
No. Data files save wherever chosen as XML or encrypted portfolio format. Only the workspace and optional sidecar follow fixed paths. Treat data like documents.
