I have noticed there are references to that directory in the registry and was hoping there was a documented procedure for this. (v9.08 is installed on a Windows 2012 server)
When I last investigated, the only supported (by rumour) option to do so was through reinstallation followed by a readdb of the previously dumped IDB, manual move of DCBFs and the Config tree. But that was for 6.11 (see this thread where I migrate to a new OS, 64bit platform and target drive letter in a single step). I assume something like that can be done with 9.08 as well, but it requires testing. I'm rather confident the IDB restore (readdb) and DCBF move will work out, but 8.x+ has new components compared to prior versions and just dropping a copy of Config into the right place might not suffice.
BTW, I prefer to install (both code and data) to O:\OmniBack which is a dedicated volume. Way more flexible in the future than splicing it into the system drive and no hassle with that pesky ProgramData tree, either.
HTH,
