[MonetDB-users] MonetDB Server logs and location on Windows

Hello. I have MonetDB installed on Windows XP. The server crashed several times for me during shredding of several files (1mill records each). I am running this Window XP instance in VM, so maybe disk space or memory was an issue. 1. Where are the logs? 2. Also, what is the physical location of the database itself? 3. What is the best strategy to prevent data loss if server crashes. Do I need to backup files or backup through Admin GUI? Thanks a lot!
