+Managing the storage path
+-------------------------
+
+We can set another storage path:
+
+    >>> import os
+    >>> os.mkdir('newlocation')
+    >>> newpath = os.path.abspath('newlocation')
+    >>> mydatacenter.setStoragePath(newpath)
+
+When we set a new storage path, we can tell to move all files in the
+old location to the new one. To see this feature in action, we first
+have to put a file into the old location:
+
+    >>> open(os.path.join(newpath, 'myfile.txt'), 'wb').write('hello')
+
+Now we can set a new location and the file will be copied:
+
+    >>> verynewpath = os.path.abspath('verynewlocation')
+    >>> os.mkdir(verynewpath)
+
+    >>> mydatacenter.setStoragePath(verynewpath, move=True)
+    >>> storagepath = mydatacenter.storage
+    >>> 'myfile.txt' in os.listdir(verynewpath)
+    True
+
+We remove the created file to have a clean testing environment for
+upcoming examples:
+
+    >>> os.unlink(os.path.join(storagepath, 'myfile.txt'))
