Using Journal Archiving

Go Up to Journaling and Disaster Recovery

As mentioned above, a journal archive is a directory that contains a full database dump, and the completed journal files that have been archived since that dump. InterBase requires that you create and update archive content (the dump and journal files) in two steps:

1. Archive the database.

2. Archive the journal files.

The commands used to perform each task are explained below.

Note: Creating a journal archive does not require exclusive database access.
