==Backup and restore==
+
ejabberd has an internal specific Mnesia datatabase for users data.<br/>
+
When you backup your server with core backup program, ejabberd database is saved and backuped in file ''/home/e-smith/db/ejabberd/ejabberd.backup''.<br/>
+
But restoring your ejabberd backuped data on a new fresh installation of SME server needs four steps :
+
* restore old server backup or copy ''/home/e-smith/db/ejabberd/ejabberd.backup'' from old server
