Description
The class implementing Firebird-only backup database service.
Use the TFDFBNBackup component to add a Firebird-only backup database capability to an application. This is a programmatic method to invoke the nbackup tool as a thread in the DB server process to backup a database.
To configure the connection to the database server, you must fill the following properties: DriverLink, Host, Protocol, UserName and Password.
To produce a DB backup, an application should:
- Specify Database - a primary database file to backup.
- Specify BackupFiles - the file name to backup a database into.
- Specify Level - the incremental level or full backup mode.
- Call Backup method.
Other properties and methods are optional.
Paths of backup files are relative to the server. Because the TFDFBNBackup executes backup on the DB server host, the DB Service Manager writes backup files on the server host. The DB Service Manager also creates files in the context of the server.
To restore a backup created by TFDFBNBackup, use the TFDFBNRestore component. The TFDIBSDump component may be used for an Interbase online dump.

Example
FDFBNBackup1.DriverLink := FDPhysFBDriverLink1; FDFBNBackup1.UserName := 'sysdba'; FDFBNBackup1.Password := 'masterkey'; FDFBNBackup1.Host := 'db_srv_host'; FDFBNBackup1.Protocol := ipTCPIP; FDFBNBackup1.Database := 'e:\fb\addemo.fdb'; FDFBNBackup1.BackupFile := 'e:\fb\addemo.backup'; FDFBNBackup1.Level := 0; // full backup FDFBNBackup1.Backup;
