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 Ludovic Alain M. a écrit :
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

I have searced the xwiki site, list history, the web, subscribed to xwiki-users, before asking this:
I am running xwiki standalone, the file is wiki-1.1-milestone-1.tar.gz and it says "Standalone installation including a Jetty container and an HSQLDB database all set up. Should be used by first-time users"
Please tell me where are the files (or directories) that I need to save to have a full backup. Both database and configs but not the libs. It is running in /home/alain/dev/java/xwiki.
I compared the original .tar.gz with my modified xwiki, appart from logs, only these files are different: db/xwiki_db.script db/xwiki_db.properties (only the date changed) temp/imageCache/ (empty directory, belongs to root)
db/xwiki_db.script looks like an sql-dump, and my modifications are included. Could it be that a database dump is created every time I modify something? Anyway the database apears *not* to be inside the xwiki directory...
PLEASE HELP, I want to make a full backup, but without all the libs and fixed stuff (the whole directory is 55Mb! ).
Thansk for any help, Alain
