Veritas NetBackup™ for Sybase Administrator's Guide

Performing a user-directed backup for Sybase

The following procedure shows you how to perform a user-directed backup.

To perform a user-directed backup

  1. (Optional) Issue the Sybase DBCC command to check the database's consistency.
  2. Issue the Sybase DUMP command from the isql utility on the client.

    If the client name appears in one or more Sybase policies, the Default-Application-Schedule that NetBackup uses is the first policy in alphabetical order.

For example:

dump transaction mydb to "sybackup::"
go

For information on the isql utility and the DUMP command, see your Sybase documentation.
