BACKUP / BACKUPCPU

BACKUPCPU controls the application backup process. BACKUP is a synonym for

BACKUPCPU.

cpu can be one of the following:

displays the current setting, along with the current backup status.

NONE

stops a backup process if one is already running. No new backup processes will be

created.

number

specifies a number in the range 0 through 15 inclusive. The application will use the

specified processor for its backup process. If a backup process is already running, it

is stopped. A new backup process is created in the specified processor.

BUDDY

toggles the low-order bit of the primary processor number to determine the backup

processor number. Therefore, you do not need to configure a specific processor

number because this method pairs processors for backup in even-odd groups (0 to 1,

2 to 3, ... 14 to 15).

If a backup process is already running, it is stopped. A new backup process is

created in the specified processor.

ANY

uses any available processor for the backup process. The buddy processor is tried

first; if that fails, other processors are then used starting with processor numbers

closest to the primary until a backup is successfully started. This method assures that

a backup will be created in all cases where any two processors are available. If a

backup process is already running, it is stopped. A new backup process is created in

the appropriate processor.
