# Database Management

The CapStorm database management sub-system supports the creation of databases for use with CapStorm applications. Common use cases include:

* A *CopyStorm* database to store a Salesforce backup.
* A *CopyStorm/Restore* tracker database, which contains information about records that can or will be restored.

To create a new database, click the *Create Database* button in the top right of the page. This will open a small panel that allows input for information about the database. An example of this window can be seen below:
