If you just want to move your existing AIM database to a new or re-installed HD all that is needed is a backup of the /opt/aim/inst/<HISTNAME> directory. That directory contains all the point configuration and database info that AIM needs. So the steps to take after re-installing the AW are: 1: install AIM, 2: put the an_init.* and aimapi.cfg files back in /opt/aim/bin (these contain license info and api tuning), 3: put the /opt/aim/inst/<HISTNAME> directory back from a backup tape, 4: check in the AIM histmanager to automatically start on reboot and reboot the machine.
