I'll share with you the additional steps to change the location where you save your QuickBooks file, @sleavitt. Aside from the three options provided by john-pero above, you can simply copy and paste your entire QuickBooks folder to a different hard drive. I'm here to guide you how.
For detailed instructions, see the Alternative: Move your entire QuickBooks data folder section through this article: Move Your Company Files. This link also provides you steps about moving your company files to another computer or location on the same computer. Aside from that, you'll find more details about restoring the files using Intuit Data Protect.
