The BACKUP statement now supports virtual backup with the two new parameters VIRTUAL DECOUPLED and VIRTUAL ENCAPSULATED. The new parameters perform the functions of the database options VIRTUAL_BACKUP and BACKUP_EXEC_CMD, which have been deprecated.
You can now perform incremental virtual backups using the new BACKUP syntax. The deprecated VIRTUAL_BACKUP database option is ignored for incremental backups.
For more information, see BACKUP statement in Chapter 6, “SQL Statements” of the Sybase IQ Reference Manual and Chapter 14, “Backup and Data Recovery” in the Sybase IQ System Administration Guide.
