      - Design databases
        Link uses a master database and a resource database to store some of its design data.
      - Additional accounts
        Additional accounts may be associated with a MongoDB server instance. Each account is associated with its own account ID and resource database. The account ID is stored in the accounts collection in the manner described above. Additional accounts are not present in default Link installations.
      - Backing up and restoring databases
        Backing up the design databases consists of backing up the master database and each resource database. Similarly, restoring the design databases, whether to a previously used, or to a new MongoDB server instance, consists of restoring the master database and each backed up resource database.
      - MongoDB migration example
        This documentation describes example commands for MongoDB server instance migration with a native Linux Link installation.
