arrange that manually.

+Internally (within the server, in the database and in

.SS Backups
DisOrder uses Berkeley DB but currently discards log files that are no longer

+This means that DB's catastrophic recovery cannot be used (normal
recovery can be used, and indeed the server does this automatically on
startup).
.PP
It is suggested that instead you just back up the output of
-.BR disorder-dump (8),
+.BR disorder\-dump (8),
which saves only the parts of the database that cannot be regenerated
automatically, and thus has relatively modest storage requirements.
