Journal Volumes

What is a Journal Volume?

A Journal Volume is an "entry database" for The Journal. A Journal Volume can contain one or more user logins and all of their categories and entries.

Journal Volumes can be placed on any available hard drive, or even removable media like Iomega's Zip disks. Each Journal Volume must have a unique name.

Most users of The Journal will only need a single Journal Volume.

What is The Journal's System Database?

The Journal's System Database stores the names and locations of all Journal Volumes, as well as certain global settings. The System Database is always stored in the "System" folder under the folder where The Journal is installed.
