SYMPTOM(s):

online probkup: Please enter next device/file name or type "quit" to exit: then backup terminates

After the following prompt during online probkup, backup terminates with error 1617

Please enter next device/file name or type "quit" to exit

Backup terminated due to errors. (1617)

FACT(s) (Environment):

no "Backup Complete" (3740) message
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family

CAUSE:

The size of the database backup vs available disk space confirms that the hard disk has run out of available space to continue.

FIX:

Check for available media space before running backup for muti-volume databases as part of the initial checks in the backup script.

For example, the following command will give an idea of how much space will be needed for the current probkup, but will not create a backup:

UNIX: probkup [online] 'DBNAME' [incremental] /dev
ull
DOS: probkup [online] 'DBNAME' [incremental] nul
