Performing Backups
Full Backup
To perform a full backup, enter the following command in the CLI (the entire command is on a single
line):
dbbackup -c
"uid=dba;pwd=sql;eng=fabman;CommLinks=tcpip{DOBROADCAST=DIRECT;HOST=localh
ost;ServerPort=2638}" -y -r -n <destdir>
where:
•
•
•
•
Note
A copy of the transaction log file is also placed in the databases directory. This copy can be safely
deleted after the backup is complete.
23-2
<destdir>
is the destination directory for the backup files.
-y
is an option that causes the dbbackup utility to overwrite files without any prompt.
Caution
Be careful with the -y option if you are always backing up the same directory. The
fabman.db database file is overwritten without a prompt by this option.
-r
is an option that renames and restarts the transaction log file after backing it up. You can use
this option to reduce the transaction log file size.
-n
is an option that causes the transaction log file to be named using the yymmddxx.log format,
where xx is AA, AB, AC, etc.
