How to create a hot backup using probkup.
FIX:
The process for creating a hot backup is to:
1. Perform a Progress backup of a database using the probkup command.
Syntax: probkup <dbname> <device-name>
2. Restore the backup of the database to another machine or directory using the
prorest command. Syntax: prorest <dbname> <device-name>
3. Edit the structure file (dbname.st)and modify database pathnames to reflect
the new location of the database extents.
4. Update the .db file to reflect the current information by performing a
prostrct repair against the database using the newly updated structure file.
Syntax: prostrct repair dbname dbname.st.
5. Enable after imaging on your production database with rfutil command.
Syntax: rfutil <dbname> -C aimage begin.
6. As ai files are filled on your original database, you can copy them to this
machine or location and roll forward against the copy of the source database
using rfutil command.
Syntax: rfutil <dbname> -C roll forward -a <aifilename>
