configure Shadow Folders state data folder?

I saw this line in the Vault 3.0.3 release notes:

-Shadow Folders can now be configured to store their state data in a folder that the Vault Service has access to

I've been waiting for this change, as I'm running Vault on a server with a relatively small C: drive. Does anyone know how to do this? There's no documentation on how to configure this location.

When I upgraded my Vault server, I noticed that there is now a "Vault Shadow Folder Cache" folder in \Program Files\SourceGear\. Is this where the "state data" is now stored for shadow folders? If so, how do you change the location?

You can add this line

<add key="shadowfolder_cachepath" value="c:\Program Files\Sourcegear\Vault Shadow Folder Cache" />

to the appsettings section of your VaultShadowFolder web.config.

Thanks, it works. Is this setting documented anywhere...besides here?

I searched through all of the help files and support forums for this but couldn't find it anywhere.
