Use nbdb_backup to make either an online or an offline
copy of the NBDB database files and
the BMRDB database files in a
directory. The transaction log is not truncated by using
nbdb_backup. Transaction logs are
managed only by using the catalog backup.
Install_path\NetBackup\bin\nbdb_backup.exe [-dbn
database_name][-online | -offline]
destination_directory
-dbn database_name only
backs up the specified database (NBDB or BMRDB).
-offline shuts down the database and access to the
database. Connections to the database are refused at this time. The
SQL Anywhere service does not shut down.

Note:
|
Using
this command (or the NetBackup Database Administration utility) to
back up the NetBackup database can potentially break the
consistency between the NetBackup catalog and the database. This
loss of consistency can lead to loss of data. Use this command (or
the NetBackup Database Administration utility) to back up the
NetBackup catalog only as a precautionary measure.

Note:
|
The
transaction logs are not truncated by using nbdb_backup. A catalog backup must be run to
truncate the logs.
