 * `DAEMON_HOME` is the location where the `cosmovisor/` directory is kept that contains the genesis binary, the upgrade binaries, and any additional auxiliary files associated with each binary (e.g. `$HOME/.gaiad`, `$HOME/.regend`, `$HOME/.simd`, etc.).
 * `DAEMON_NAME` is the name of the binary itself (e.g. `gaiad`, `regend`, `simd`, etc.).
+* `DAEMON_DATA_DIR` option to set an absolute path to the `data` directory. this path is used to detect upgrade info file and backups. If not set, `$DAEMON_HOME/data` is used.
 * `DAEMON_ALLOW_DOWNLOAD_BINARIES` (*optional*), if set to `true`, will enable auto-downloading of new binaries (for security reasons, this is intended for full nodes rather than validators). By default, `cosmovisor` will not auto-download new binaries.
 * `DAEMON_DOWNLOAD_MUST_HAVE_CHECKSUM` (*optional*, default = `false`), if `true` cosmovisor will require that a checksum is provided in the upgrade plan for the binary to be downloaded. If `false`, cosmovisor will not require a checksum to be provided, but still check the checksum if one is provided.
 * `DAEMON_RESTART_AFTER_UPGRADE` (*optional*, default = `true`), if `true`, restarts the subprocess with the same command-line arguments and flags (but with the new binary) after a successful upgrade. Otherwise (`false`), `cosmovisor` stops running after an upgrade and requires the system administrator to manually restart it. Note restart is only after the upgrade and does not auto-restart the subprocess after an error occurs.

 The `cosmovisor/` directory includes a subdirectory for each version of the application (i.e. `genesis` or `upgrades/<name>`). Within each subdirectory is the application binary (i.e. `bin/$DAEMON_NAME`) and any additional auxiliary files associated with each binary. `current` is a symbolic link to the currently active directory (i.e. `genesis` or `upgrades/<name>`). The `name` variable in `upgrades/<name>` is the lowercased URI-encoded name of the upgrade as specified in the upgrade module plan. Note that the upgrade name path are normalized to be lowercased: for instance, `MyUpgrade` is normalized to `myupgrade`, and its path is `upgrades/myupgrade`.
 
-Please note that `$DAEMON_HOME/cosmovisor` only stores the *application binaries*. The `cosmovisor` binary itself can be stored in any typical location (e.g. `/usr/local/bin`). The application will continue to store its data in the default data directory (e.g. `$HOME/.simapp`) or the data directory specified with the `--home` flag. `$DAEMON_HOME` is dependent of the data directory and must be set to the same directory as the data directory, you will end up with a configuration like the following:
