Backup and recovery restrictions

The database server prevents the following operations from being executed while a backup is in progress:

  • Another backup, with the exception of a live backup.

  • A checkpoint, other than one issued by the backup instruction.

  • Any statement that causes a checkpoint. This includes data definition statements and the LOAD TABLE and TRUNCATE TABLE statements.

During recovery, including recovering backups, no action is permitted by other users of the database.
