Subsequent Backups to the Local Backup Server
Use these steps to back up the Sybase 12.5.0.1 Server to the local backup server on a
daily basis.
1.
Log in as the Sybase user by entering:
su - sybase
If you have a two-system configuration (Sybase on one workstation, HP
OpenView/NavisCore on another), log on to either server workstation.
2.
Enter the following command:
script /opt/sybase/backup/sybck.out
The script command saves any database output from the
dbcc checkdb
command (
step 4
) and places it in the
sybck.out
file. In addition, the output is
displayed on screen.
3.
Initiate an isql session by entering:
isql -U sa -P <
SA password
> -S <
database server name
>
For example,
superbase
.
4.
To check the consistency of the database, enter:
1>
dbcc checkdb(master)
2>
go
1>
dbcc checkdb(cascview)
2>
go
1>
dbcc checkalloc(master)
2>
go
1>
dbcc checkalloc(cascview)
2>
go
1>
dbcc checkcatalog(master)
2>
go
1>
dbcc checkcatalog(cascview)
2>
go

quit
The following message is normal and should be disregarded:
*** NOTICE: Notification of log space used/free cannot be
reported because the log segment is not on its own device.
Note –
The Technical Assistance Center strongly recommends that you back up the
Sybase “cascview” database daily.
