Manage databases

Databases contain all models and objects, classified in groups. If you are using versioned databases, you can open defined database versions. You can back up databases so that a particular version can be restored at a later date or to provide databases on other tenants. If you back up versioned databases, all versions of the database are included.

On each tenant different sets of databases can be managed.
