| //**Aware IM**// uses two databases with the default names ''BASDB'' and ''BASDBTEST''. These two databases need to be backed up on a regular basis. Generally, it is recommended that the database backup be performed using the tools provided by the specific database used with //**Aware IM**//. In certain cases, it is possible to perform a simple directory backup. For example, if the default Derby/Cloudscape database is used it is possible to backup the DATA directory located underneath the root directory of the //**Aware IM**// installation. To restore the data after the backup all you need to do is overwrite the ''DATA'' directory with the files from the backup. | //**AwareIM**// uses two databases with the default names ''BASDB'' and ''BASDBTEST''.
