Hi Ed, We had 4D Server and all 4D files including .4DD and .journal files on the same disk but separate from the . I know that it’s usually recommended to keep the .journal on a different disk or even a different file server, but since we were on a SAN, disk reliability was much higher than network reliability. The chance of a network disconnect causing the link to the .journal to break was avoided by having it on the same disk. We also mirrored, via log shipping, every 15 minutes, so that provided sufficient redundancy. Under WS2008 there were no restrictions on where an app needed to reside, but there may be in WS2016, so I’ll let Jeff chime in on that.
