Dumps and loads are performed by an Open Server program, Backup Server, running on the same machine as Adaptive Server. You can perform backups over the network, using Backup Server on a remote computer and another on the local computer.
Backup Server cannot dump to multidisk volumes.
Backup Server:
Creates and loads from “striped dumps.” Dump striping allows you to use up to 32 backup devices in parallel. This splits the database into approximately equal portions and backs up each portion to a separate device.
Creates and loads single dumps that span several tapes.
Dumps and loads over the network to a Backup Server running on another machine.
Dumps several databases or transaction logs onto a single tape.
Loads a single file from a tape that contains many database or log dumps.
Supports platform-specific tape handling options.
Directs volume-handling requests to the session where the dump or load command was issued or to its operator console.
Detects the physical characteristics of the dump devices to determine protocols, block sizes, and other characteristics.
