Issue/Introduction

The <DataCollector install path>/apache-karaf-*/data directory automatically copied to data.bak, data.bak1 ... data.bak10.

Why and how these directory create? 

This backup directory created by following script.

- <DataCollector install path>/scripts/karaffunctions 

If <DataCollector install path>/apache-karaf-*/.lock file already exists when Data Collector start time (This means Data collector terminated abnormally), data.bak* directory will be created.

It will be created until 10th generation.  The directory will be overwritten with shifting when it reached maximum generation.
