Backup

There are four files in the backup directory. This directory is specified when you install Replication Server with ERSSD.

Table 4-5: Backup directory files

File name

File definition

erssd_name.db

Backup database file

erssd_name.log

Backup transaction log

erssd_name.db.pre

Previous backup database file

erssd_name.log.pre

Previous backup transaction log

An automatic full backup, including both the database file and the transactional log file, is performed at the default or the configured time.

The transaction log is mirrored, providing extra protection for critical data, and enables complete recovery of the transaction log file.

To perform an unscheduled backup, use this Replication Server command:

sysadmin erssd, backup
