"uid=dba;pwd=sql;eng=EPIC51;dbf=<install_dir>\basecamp.db"

The Backup Utility

The Backup utility makes a backup copy of all data in the database, except for user names and
passwords. Access the Backup utility from the MS DOS or Solaris command line using the
command. This convention also allows incorporation into batch or command files.

The DBBACKUP Command-Line Utility

To back up the EPICenter database running under Windows, use the command:
<install_dir>\database\dbbackup -c
"uid=dba;pwd=sql;eng=EPIC51;dbf=<install_dir>\basecamp.db" <backup_dir>
Under Solaris, use the command:
<install_dir>/database/dbbackup -c
"uid=dba;pwd=sql;eng=EPIC51;dbf=<install_dir>/basecamp.db" <backup_dir>
This example assumes a database user ID of
the database server is installed through the EPICenter installation process. If you have changed your
database user ID and password, substitute your actual user ID and password in the command.
< > is the directory where the EPICenter software is installed. Substitute the actual
install_dir
directory name in the command.
