Background documentationbackup_replace Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

A running backup operation was interrupted because the system reported that a data carrier is full.

Use the backup_replace command to replace the full data carrier. The system will now continue the backup operation. The remaining data to be backed up is saved to all data carriers in the group

After the system has executed this DBM command, information about the backup is output. The information is only given when the backup operation is finished or is interrupted again. For this reason, the response to this DBM command can take a long time.

Note Note

Pay special attention to the Returncode reply field, which contains a numeric value for a message.

End of the note.

If it is clear from the message number that the backup operation has been interrupted again and not completed, continue the session with a succeeding command (backup_replace, backup_ignore), or terminate the session with backup_cancel.

Prerequisites

  • You have the server permission Backup.

  • You have started backing up the database. The backup operation was interrupted because one of the data carriers was reported as full. You are still in the same database session.
