use aaData from diferent datatable

does anybody know how to set datasource to datatable initialization from other datatable where I get data from server processing like object version of aaData ?
my goal is to call serverside processing just once and then use callback data in more datatables.

I think the best approach is to use bDestroy to remove old table and rebuild using the array you got from your server processing script

[code]
$('#example').dataTable( {
"aaData": your_aaData_variable,
"bDestroy": true
});

[/code]

thanks fbas for response...
how exactly I can reference existing aaData object array from other datatables?
I mean what should be after "aaData": ?..... probably just reference to object but not sure how...:)
