[xwiki-dev] How to backup standalone instalation

[Alain M.]

Hi All,

First of all, it is the *first time* I post *anything* on this list. So 
I do sincerely not believe that I stepped over any netiquete rules. I 
did make my reseash and I dis spend hours testind and searching. I just 
expected to be better received in this comunity.

AND I didn't bet ANY usefull answers *at all*. Nobody seems to know were 
the database is, nor seems to care!

Now that I have used my constitutional right to deffend myself, let's go 
to the point.
-------------

Does anyone kow where the database is?????? Xwiki is the nices wiki 
around, but I cannot use it if no backup is possible!

Details are in tha originaç message below.

Thanks again to any nice soul that can help,
Alain
