Correcting a failed backup
When solidDB® is performing a backup (local or network) the command
ADMIN COMMAND 'status [backup | netbackup]'
returns the value “ACTIVE”. The default option is backup. Once the backup is completed, the command returns either “OK2 or “FAILED”.
If the backup failed, you can find the error message that describes the reason for the failure in the solmsg.out file in the database directory. Correct the cause of the error and try again.
