[GNC] Relocating user specific application data to another directory

[mark101]

Hi

For easier backup, I wish to relocate my user specific application data in
the default directory to another directory on my PC. My operating system is
Windows 10 and I’m using Gnucash v3.7.

Documentation suggests this can be achieved by creating an
'environment.local' file in the same location as the 'environment' file, and
adding to it, the GNC_DATA_HOME variable to override the default location.

Could someone show how the syntax should look in the environment.local file,
if I want to relocate to the data, to say
"C:\Users\Mark\OneDrive\Documents\Gnucash_data\GnuCash". I’ve had a number
of goes at the syntax but to no avail… it keeps using the default directory. 

For those interested, as well as the text in the environment.local file,
here are the wiki links which have helped so far:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Diagrams_-_Windows
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations

Many thanks and please excuse my ignorance as I’m new to GnuCash.

Mark
