If you want automatic backup then the best answer (IMO of course) is
still to install the software to C:\Weatherlink (to make subsequent
software updates simpler). It may be quaint, but it's simple and it
works. But, as suggested above, to create the station folder (ie where
all the weather data files are located) in the folder location of your
choice. Yes My Documents is one option. But Onedrive is another good
option these days so that you can get cloud backup.

In a different galaxy, without doubt Davis should rewrite the software
so that it does once again install into \Program Files\ but with
configuration files being written to eg one of the AppData folders and
perhaps Station folders being located by default within Onedrive. But
I'm not sure that anything is likely to happen on that front
imminently, given that AIUI the future direction of WL is under more
fundamental review.

Using Onedrive in teh way you mention is a good idea, I do backup there
as well as I'm a bit paranoid about data loss.

I'm intrigued about the future development of Waetherlink, are you in a
position to reveal more?
