rootDoBckup

Function: rootDoBckup { -> }

file: job.t
package: muf
status: temporary

This function does a monolithic backup of the entire db. The server stops until backup is complete. I'd like to think that this function is a temporary kludge which will be removed in a future release.

You may find it easier and more reliable to use the inserver support for periodic backups rather than the rootDoBckup function: Just set the

.muq$s.dateOfNextBackup
.muq$s.millisecsBetweenBackups

to nonzero values (the default) and the server will do the rest.

Conversely, if you wish precise control of backup timing, you may wish to zero the above two properties and call rootDoBckup exactly when you want backups done.

Also relevant is the

.muq$s.maxDbCopiesToKeep

property.
