Summarized Instructions
The following procedures should be used to perform accurate and timely backups of PROGRESS databases. The importance of accurate and timely backups cannot be stressed enough.
1. Check to see if database is in use:
proutil [database.name] -C busy
2. Truncate the bi file.
proutil [database.name] -C truncate bi
3. Full Backups:
probkup [database.name] [device-name] [-vs n] [-bf n]
-vs option indicates no limit and will write until completion or the device is full and an error occurs.
-bf option indicates blocking factor.
Probkup automatically performs crash recovery if the bi file was not truncated.
4. Incremental Backups:
probkup [database.name] [device-name] incremental [-io n] [-scan]
-io option indicates overlap factor
-scan option indicates enabled verbose mode (incremental only)
5. On-Line Backups:
probkup online [database.name] [device.name] [incremental] [-vs n] [-bf n] [-io n]
Do not use On-Line Backup if you are running single-user system (DOS - BTOS)
