Monitoring the Incremental Backup State

Monitoring the completion of your Sybase Unwired Platform database backups is critical to success of your recovery plan.

Monitoring the incremental backup state is not automated. You need to independently perform these investigations unless you have a third-party monitoring system you can use for this purpose.

  1. (Only required if using log mirrors) Always check the the log mirror, to ensure there are no lags and that they are exact replicas of the source transaction log at a given moment.
  2. If you are using a third-party tool for performing the incremental backup, check that the scheduled jobs are running and that the transaction logs are successfully applied to the backup database.
  3. Perform routine verification of the backup by running:
    dbvalid -c connection-string
