[Midas] backup the data

[Patrick Reynolds]

All of the information attached to the bitstreams, items, folders, communities, and users are stored in the the database. Essentially, the assetstore is useless without the database.

You can configure postgresql or or mysql to store the database on any disk you would like, simply consult the documentation for your database.
