GOAL:
How to Probkup a database on disk to multiple files of a predefined size.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1B
Progress 9.1C
Progress 9.1D
FIX:
The -vs parameter must be used with the Probkup command to specify the size of the backup file extents. Beginning with 9.1B, probkup extent size is now only limited by the available disk space or OS file size limits, unlike earlier versions of Progress where Probkup defaulted to a maximum file size of 2GB for each extent.
When backing up to disk and wanting to use files of a specific size the following syntax should be followed.
PROBKUP /path/dbname /path/bkup_file1 -vs <###> < /path/input_file
Where:
dbname is your database name
bkup_file1 is the first backup volume to be created
-vs <###> is the volume size ( units in database block size, not Kb or Mb)
input_file is the file with the list of preexisting volume location names.
