Sorry, that wasn't entirely clear.  The question is which of these two
scenarios is correct:

1. Slave Derby server instance running
2. Database to be replicated is closed on the slave
3. Database data files copied from the master
3. Slave database reopened

or

1. Slave Derby server instance shut down
3. Database data files copied from the master
3. Slave Derby server instance restarted
4. Slave database reopened
