No, these things are unrelated. They won't be lost if you backup/restore on the same host but you have to copy them manually if you migrate to a different host.

Re: [Firebird-devel] aliases.conf - databases.conf rename
It's up to you to decide. You may move local settings to mydb.conf and then #include it into databases.conf. But databases.conf is still necessary to make the server aware of pre-configured databases. Can you give me/us an idea of what the things are that can be configured in these files?

In firebird.conf in comments a number of parameters are marked as per-database configurable. -- Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.

Re: [Firebird-devel] aliases.conf - databases.conf rename
What’s the point of the rename? It seems to only break existing code and documentation. aliases.conf name does not reflect what for this file can be used in fb3. In addition to defining aliases for databases it now supports per-database configuration parameters. We (I and Dmitry) failed to invite better name than databases.conf. If you have ideas, you are welcome. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to have those per-database configurations in one central place. So when you move a database to another server you have to copy-and-paste those things to the other server. What about having a pair of files: mydb.fdb mydb.conf Where mydb.conf contains the per-database configuration? In this case, all you need to do is copy or move both files together. What about backups? Will GBAK backup and restore these settings so they don't get lost?
