Data storage

Skylog saves its data into a hsqldb database (see hsqldb.org/). The database runs inside the Skylog process; an external database engine is not needed.

You may copy the database files as backup. However, do not copy the files while Skylog is running. The backup may become handy if the database file has been corrupted due to a programm error, crash or problems with your file system. If this ever happens you will be able to open Skylog on the backup file (“File / Open database ...” and then select the backup file).
