1.6 +The data store for imip-agent holds calendar data and free/busy information.
1.7 +The following data store types exist:
1.8 +
1.9 + * A [[../FileStore|file store]] employing textual files in the filesystem
1.10 +
1.11 + * A [[../DatabaseStore|database store]] employing database tables managed
1.12 + by a database management system
1.13 +
1.14 +For simplicity, the file store is the default storage mechanism for imip-agent,
1.15 +but the database store is provided as an alternative where different operating
1.16 +characteristics are desired.
1.17 +
1.18 +The [[../Configuration|configuration]] files (`config.sh` and `config.py`) need
1.19 +updating to reflect the choice of data store, with the directory parameters
1.20 +set to appropriate values for the chosen store type.
