--portable-mode
stores all settings, backup configurations and local databases in a folder Data, located under the program folder.
If Duplicati is installed in C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2, --portable-mode
will store everything in C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\Data.

### Version info
**Duplicati Version:** 2.0.1.32_canary_2016-11-12
**Operating System:** Windows 7 64
**Backend:** file
### Bug description
Windows roaming profile becomes large after longer usage of Duplicati. Login on computers that are part of a domain takes a long time due to the large profile. This is caused due to the files `BIMOMVVWCK.sqlite` (400 MB) and `GBGIAIXHXI.sqlite` (100 MB) in the folder `C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Duplicati`.
### Steps to reproduce
- use current version of Duplicati on a Windows computer that is part of a domain network
- backup files for several weeks
**Actual result:** Roaming profile increases in size, increased network traffic, long login delays
**Expected result:** Duplicati SQL database should not be part of the roaming profile. It belongs to the local machine. It should therefore be stored in `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Duplicati` instead.
