Where does HSTracker store its data

The user data is stored in a file called HSTracker.dat (USR with versions before 1.5) - the file is normally located in the same folder as the HSTracker application itself. Below is a full list of all data file locations.

  • /Applications/HSTracker/HSTracker.dat – main user data file
  • ~/Documents/hstracker-backup.zip - HSTracker user data backup
  • ~/Documents/hstracker-attachments/ - used when viewing file attachments
  • /Applications/HSTracker/HSTValueLists.dat – contains save searches and other custom popup menus
  • ~/Library/Preferences/hstracker.prefs.fp7 - user preferences
  • /Library/FileMaker Preferences/HSTracker Prefs - database preferences
  • /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/HSTrackerARDWatch.scpt - Finder folder action for automated ARD report collection
You should make regular backups of your data files.
