## I updated to a new version of the Infection Monkey and I'm being asked to delete my existing data directory. Why?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The [data directory]({{< ref "/reference/data_directory" >}}) contains the
|
||||||
|
Infection Monkey's database and other internal
|
||||||
|
data. For the new version of Infection Monkey to work flawlessly, a data
|
||||||
|
directory with a compatible structure needs to be set up.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you would like to save the data gathered from the Monkey's previous runs,
|
||||||
|
you can make a backup of your [existing data directory]({{< ref
|
||||||
|
"/reference/data_directory" >}}) before deleting it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How can I use an old data directory?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use the data stored in a data directory from an older version, reinstall the
|
||||||
|
version of the Monkey Island which matches your data directory's version. Then,
|
||||||
|
copy the backup of your old data directory to the [appropriate location]({{<
|
||||||
|
ref "/reference/data_directory" >}}).
