Backing up encrypted tables |
Tue, Jan 2 2007 7:10 PM | Permanent Link |
Roland Verrinder | Hi,
Win2K; Delphi 7 Pro; DBISAM 4.24 Build 1. We ship the DBISAM Database System Utility with our product to allow raw data administration. Our server is programmed to carry out scheduled database backups on a regular basis but we also want to allow our customer's administrator to do backups manually before attempting data updates. Our problem now is that we want to encorporate a few encrypted tables in the database that we don't want our customers to be able to view the design or contents of, but do want them to be able to backup and restore manually using the Database System Utility. In other words we want the manual backup and restore processes to occur without the encryption password. Is this possible? Roland |

Roland Verrinder | Hi Robert,
<<Sure. You get the source for DBISAM. Add the passwords to the session oncreate>> I assume you mean the Database System Utility (dbsys.exe) source. If so, would this not be a breach of the copyright? Roland |
