Use modified
option. These options are not part of the dump configuration,
but are options for the
dump database and
dump
transaction commands. This means that some of these options
take precedence over the configured parameter value stored in the dump
configuration file for a particular dump operation.
- Block size – block size for the dump
operation, which overrides the default block size for the device. For optimal
performance, specify the block size as a power of 2. Default value is 0.
- Compression level – level of
compression for compressed dumps. By default, this option is disabled.
- Dump Password – the password you provide to protect the dump file
from unauthorized users. The password must be between 6 and 30
characters long. The default is null.
- Retain days – number of days that
the dump is preserved and cannot be overwritten. Default value is 0.
- Volume reinitialization – whether the
volume must be reinitialized. Default is noinit.
- Dump verification – whether Backup
Server must perform a minimal page-header or full structural row check on the
data pages as they are copied to archives. Default is header.
- Message destination – specifies if the
Backup Server must route messages to the client terminal that initiated the
dump, or to the operator-console terminal where the Backup Server is running.
Default is client.
