User data outside of Home directory

[hkaufman]

I'm wondering how to deal with programs that store their data outside of the user's home directory. In particular, I use 2 programs that are Openbase databases. The data files are stored at /Library/Openbase/Databases. If working in a Sandbox, wouldn't these files be on the original disk. rather than the Sandbox drive? So therefore, if one had to restore from Sandbox, then the database files would be overwritten.

Or, am I just mixed up?

Thanks!
