DS-User F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Select options for demand backup screen (Linux DS-Client)
 
Select options for demand backup screen (Linux DS-Client)
Use this screen to specify options for the Demand Backup.
 
Additional Backup Set Options
The options in this section are specific to the type of backup set:
Backup set options
Use buffer
If checked, files will be copied to the DS-Client Buffer (i.e. as fast as possible for the given server and LAN speed). This will free up the backup source as fast as possible. Then the DS-Client will send the files from the DS-Client buffer to the DS-System.
Detailed log
Records all files that are backed up (you may view them in the Activity Log).
Stop on errors
Check this box to set an error limit, at which a backup will be stopped. Enter the maximum number of errors in the Stop on Errors field to the right.
Start at
Leave this field blank to start the demand backup immediately. Enter a time, if you wish to delay starting the demand backup until the time specified.
PreScan
Performs a PreScan of all files in the backup set to estimate a time for completion of the backup.
 
Additional Backup Set Options
MySQL backup sets.
Add locks around insert statements
Lock tables before inserting data on restore.
(See the MySQL manual page for ’mysqldump’ for more information.)
Lock all tables for read
Prevent changes to data while backup is in progress.
(See the MySQL manual page for ’mysqldump’ for more information.)
Add MySQL specific table create options
Add MySQL specific extensions to the backed up database dump.
(See the MySQL manual page for ’mysqldump’ for more information.)
Insert statement type
Specify the style of insert statement from the backed up database dump.
(See the MySQL manual page for ’mysqldump’ for more information.)
Extended - Fast insert. May not be useful for manual loading into non-MySQL databases.
Delayed - Uses ’INSERT DELAYED’ when inserting rows.
Normal - Standard insert. Slower, but may be more portable to other databases.
Additional Backup Set Options
PgSQL backup sets.
Backup only the schema, not the data
Dump only the schema (data definitions).
Do not backup privileges (Grant / Revoke)
Will backup only the data, not including the privileges of the database.
Backup data as INSERT, rather than COPY
Dumps data as INSERT commands (instead of COPY). This will make restores very slow, but it will make those backups more portable to other SQL database packages.
Additional Backup Set Options
Oracle backup sets.
Logical Corruption Check
(Default is on) Will perform a corruption check on the database prior to backup.
Backup only current archived logs
Check to backup only those logs that are necessary for the Oracle database. This saves backup space, by avoiding backup of any older logs. Leave this box unchecked if you want to backup all log files
Truncate archived logs
Clear the Oracle Database logs associated with this item after backup.
Additional Backup Set Options
DB2 Server backup sets.
Prune History / Logfile
Delete entries from the history file or log files from the active log path.
Online Backup
If unchecked, perform Offline DB2 backup. During an offline backup, applications cannot connect to the database.
If checked, perform Online DB2 backup. An online backup allows applications to connect to the database and read and write to tables during database backup. Log retain or userexit must be enabled for an online backup.
Additional Backup Set Options
SSH backup sets.
Do not follow the Mount Point
Check to backup only the Mount Point itself (not the data under any Mount Point).
