As long as you can mount the drive one way or another and copy the data from the install directory, that’s where the database data is.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2021-01-11T14:38:21.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/desktop-w-spiceworks-install-crashed/786984/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ranhalt","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/ranhalt"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
If you had backups of the Spiceworks install on and saved them to a different system or storage device you can definitely work from there.<\/p>\n
I’m assuming you are speaking of the legacy Spiceworks 7.5xxxx version?<\/p>\n
The default location for backups is c:\\program files (x86)\\Spiceworks\\backup<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2021-01-11T14:45:47.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/desktop-w-spiceworks-install-crashed/786984/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"mad-spicehead","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/mad-spicehead"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
