Making local backups
You can initiate a local backup by entering the following command in solsql:
ADMIN COMMAND 'backup [-s] [dir backup dir]'
Available options for the backup command:
Option
Description
-s
Synchronized execution. The call returns either when the backup is completed or due to an error.
dir
backup dir is a path expression determining the backup directory in the local file system.
If the backup directory is omitted, it must be specified in the solid.ini configuration file with the General.BackupDirectory directory.
If two databases are copied to the same directory, the earlier is overwritten by the latter. The backup dir must be different at least for each database. Moreover, although database files can be stored to different directories and partitions at the source server, they all are copied to the same backup directory. Therefore, identically named database files will conflict in the backup directory. As a consequence, only the most recent backup file among the identically named file has a backup copy in the backup directory.
