Backing up your databases after migration

Sybase recommends that you back up your databases again with the BACKUP statement. For complete syntax, see the Sybase IQ System Administration Guide.

This backup after the migration is recommended but not required. If you use the IQ BACKUP statement instead of a system–level backup, you can run backups and queries concurrently.

For a multiplex migration, back up the coordinator only in this manner. For secondary servers, run the dbbackup utility from the secondary server directory.

If you do not use multiplex capability, your migration is complete. The following sections apply only to multiplex migration.
