Configuring Backup Server

Backup Server performs all Adaptive Server backup and recovery operations (dump and load).

When you install Adaptive Server, the program defines Backup Server using the Adaptive Server name as a basis for the file name. For example, Backup Server for an Adaptive Server named PIANO is named PIANO_BS.

To change the configuration for a Backup Server:

  1. Start Server Config.

  2. Click the Backup Server icon, and click Configure Backup Server from the Configure Sybase Servers dialog box.

  3. Select the name of the server to configure from the Existing Servers dialog box, and click Continue.

    The Configure Backup Server dialog box appears.

  4. Change the path indicated in the Error Log Path area, if necessary.

    For more information about the error log, see “Logging errors and events”.

  5. Change the language indicated in the Language area that Backup Server will use for its messages, if necessary.

    For more information about languages, see the Adaptive Server Enterprise Installation Guide for Windows NT.

  6. Change the server’s character set in the Character Set area, if necessary.

    For more information about character sets, see the Adaptive Server Enterprise Installation Guide for Windows NT.

  7. Click Save to return to the Configure Sybase Servers dialog box.

  8. When you have completed the necessary configuration changes, click Exit to quit Server Config.
