        What I do to backup data is, simply, save the snort logs :-) (in
tcpdump format). Everytime I want to rebuild the database, I just feed all the
logs to snort again with a script, and everything is fine again. It's not very
elegant, but works nicely and allows me to fire up a tcpdump/ethereal in case
I want to look closer to some data :-)
