Hi Santosh

In 2.0 we removed  orientdb-dserver-config.xml  file, now everything is
configured in   orientdb-server-config.xml

About backup strategies, we have wider plans, that involve WAL management
and other low level components; these new implementations will also bring
benefits to backup procedures.
