Backing UP elevate databases |
Mon, Feb 27 2012 3:08 PM | Permanent Link |
jbaggs | We will be using Semantec Backup Exec 2010 to perform our nightly backups. It is our understanding that in order for databases to be backed up while open that they need to be "VSS aware" so my question: Is Elevatedb 4.0 VSS aware? If not, how are open database files backed up?

Raul Team Elevate | Pretty sure it's now VSS aware. However EDB includes a built-in backup command so best way would be to use it to make a native backup and then backup the resulting backup file (store folder) in your nightly backups. Backup documentation: http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=edb2&product=rsdelphiwin32&version=XE2&topic=Backing_Up_Restoring_Databases Suggest you also backup the catalog as part of backup.
