Backups

where:
• <destdir>
is the destination directory for the backup files.
• -y
is an option that causes the dbbackup utility to overwrite files without any prompt.
ATTENTION
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.
• -t (incremental backup only)
causes only the transaction log file to be backed up.
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.
