    Description

      Right now the Derby Administration Guide advises users to adjust permissions in their security policy file in order to prevent backup/restore from clobbering and inspecting sensitive files outside the Derby subsystem. This advice can be found in the section titled "Basic Network Server security policy". This section should be clarified to note that you can suffer similar exposure from the export/import procedures and that you need to adjust your security policy for them as well.

      Note that this section does link to another, detailed section, which describes the security policy implications for both backup/restore and export/import: "Customizing the Network Server's security policy".
