Hi André ,

This is an standard feature for AIM.

real time points are stored as rxxx.fdb files (process data)
messages are stored as mxxx.fdb files (OAJ, SYSMON and ALARMS).
xxx represent the file number.

As they are stored as an mxxx.fdb file instead of a rxxx.fdb file, you can 
restore or back-up them as required.

But you have to configure it (normally a sample of message file is located 
under /opt/aim/examples/messages.imp)
Hope this helps.
