Backup & Restore

Backup functionality allows users to make a database backup without the need to shutdown server.

Backup and restore also allows users to transfer data across different versions of the database server.

Backup and restore doesn’t port user types between their different versions. It could only port data across different versions of Eloquera DB.

User types remain unchanged.

Backup example:

db = new DB("server=localhost:43963;password=pwd;options=none;");

db.Backup("Backup");

And restore:

db = new DB("server=localhost:43963;password=pwd;options=none;");

//create a new database

db.CreateDatabase("Restored");

//open it

db.OpenDatabase("Restored");

//restore from backup file

db.Restore("Backup");
