[xwiki-dev] How to backup standalone instalation

[Ludovic Dubost]

Alain,

Vincent was juste refering to a few cross posting and the fact that he 
DID answer once in the users list. Don't take it badly, he is just 
trying to direct you to the correct behavior which instead of cross 
posting or resending was to answer his email to ask for clarifications.

Concerning your issue. You said it yourself. The database file is 
xwiki_db.script. This is the way HSQLDB handles a database.

Otherwise, if you wish to make a database independent backup of your 
wiki, you can also use the "Export" function available in the 
Administration of XWiki 1.0 and 1.1
