BkupMODX should go under the root directory...

I think the OP wanted to be able to boot into XP or Ubuntu and share the same MODx database between them, I suggested putting the DB on a shared FAT partition but the OP wanted to do a backup/restore between the two on boot.

Your suggestion for the shared FAT32 partition is still the best under the circumstances. To run that config the OP has requested would require LAMP on Ubuntu and WAMP on XP plus MODx on both. The error message reported in the earlier post indicated that MODx was not installed on either Ubuntu or XP.

ok i go to put my db on the fat32 partition and see to setup modx to use this db path

OK, you’ll need to set something like this in the my.cnf file on both your installations :-

[mysqld]
datadir=<path to FAT32 partition>

You can install MODx through any one of them, both Ubuntu and XP will now use the same databse path and hence the same database.
