Configure file merge target

If you want to backup/merge your password database to another folder on your computer, you can do it like this:

Create a new account as follows:

add
 UUID            : 0266d735-87fe-49c1-b02c-c248e4e2caa0
 Name            : <FREE_TEXT>
 URL             : /home/bert/p/
 Loginname       : <FREE_TEXT>
 Password        : <FREE_TEXT>
 Type            : <FREE_TEXT>
 Connectortype   : file

You have to set the Connectortype to "file". I reccomend to set the Type to "Connector". This makes it easier to find all connectors in your database with the "st" command which only searches in the type field.

If you have created this account you can then merge your database to this account:

mergewith 0266d735-87fe-49c1-b02c-c248e4e2caa0

To set this file account as the default file account to merge to, use:

setfileaccountuuid 0266d735-87fe-49c1-b02c-c248e4e2caa0

Now this account is the default file target and will be used when you execute:

merge2file

Use the showconfig command to view the default merge targets that are currently configured in your database.

showconfig
