Kristian,

Thanks for the comments. Acutally you can backup a derby database  
using our manager. You have to be logged in as a derby system level  
user. Then go to the "Internal Databases" tab, select the database  
you want to backup and click the popup menu. You can then either  
delete the database or back it up.

On the same tab you can also create new databases.

As far as giving access to other users they just need access to the  
server that is running our manager and a login and password for the  
derby database. You can create new derby users on the "Internal  
Database" tab if needed.

Did I know about this?  I better check the documentation.

Thanks for the information Eric,

My one experience with the manager was a few minutes of playing with it, 
and I have not read any documentation, so I suppose there are other 
things I missed as well.

The downside for me was not with the manager itself, but the excessive 
resource usage by X when handling the Mac Os X-like graphics. Must be a 
bug somewhere on my Linux box.
