 ♦  To make a backup, renaming the transaction log (SQL)
  • Use the BACKUP statement with the following clauses:

    BACKUP DATABASE
    DIRECTORY backup-directory
    [ TRANSACTION LOG ONLY ]
    TRANSACTION LOG RENAME;

    Include the TRANSACTION LOG ONLY clause only if you are making an incremental backup.

    The backup copies of the transaction log and database file are placed in backup-directory. If you enter a path, it is relative to the working directory of the database server, not your client application.

 ♦  To make a backup, renaming the transaction log (command line)
  • Run the following command (it must be typed on one line):

    dbbackup -c "connection-string" -r [ -t ] backup-directory

    Include the -t option if you are making an incremental backup.

    The backup copies of the transaction log and database file are placed in backup-directory. If you enter a path, it is relative to the directory from which you run the command.
