If Backup Prep is located in BKUPPREP, from a DOS prompt, go to
BKUPPREP. The command you enter to run Backup Prep depends on the
protocol your database server is running:
TCP/IP: If your FairCom database server runs TCP/IP, type
BKUPPREP
–s
[FairCom server name]
@
[IP address]
–pTCPIP
(e.g.,
BKUPPREP –[email protected] –pTCPIP
).
IPX/SPX: If your FairCom database server runs IPX/SPX, type
BKUPPREP
–s
[FairCom server name]
@
[NetWare server name]
–pSPX
(e.g.,
BKUPPREP –sFSCSERVER@Your_Server_Name –pSPX
).
Important:
By default, the FairCom server name is FSCSERVER. The server
name is case sensitive; you must enter it exactly as it appears in
the FairCom database server's CTSRVR.CFG file.
2. When Backup Prep is complete, a message appears, informing you whether
or not the database was successfully prepared for backup.
3. If Backup Prep was successful, continue with your backup.
If Backup Prep could not prepare the database for backup, make sure that the
FairCom database server is running, and then try again.
If your database backup routine is automated, schedule Backup Prep to run
before starting backup. Incorporate Backup Prep using the following information:
1. If Backup Prep is located in WCOMMON, set your backup script to run the
command line
BKUPPREP –e
.
If Backup Prep is located in BKUPPREP, set your script to run the command
line
BKUPPREP –e
, followed by the
–s
and
–p
command line arguments,
which are described in detail in step 1 under Manual backup."
2. After running Backup Prep, have your script check the return code:
If the return code is 0, Backup Prep succeeded and backup can start.
If the return code is 1, Backup Prep failed and backup should not start.
Restoring from backup
If you're using backup software from a thirdparty vendor and need to recover
from damaged data, you should restore your data backup to its original location.
Please refer to your backup software vendor's documentation for instructions.
Important:
To perform a successful restore in a multiuser environment, you must
first shut down the FairCom database server. For instructions, see the
Installation Guide
.
