DB_ENV->get_backup_config(DB_ENV, DB_BACKUP_CONFIG option,

         The DB_ENV->get_backup_config() method
         retrieves the value set for hot backup tuning parameters. See the
         
        DB_ENV->backup()
        
    
         and
         
        DB_ENV->dbbackup()
        
    
         methods for a description of the hot backup APIs. These tuning 
         parameters can be set using the
         
        DB_ENV->set_backup_config()
        
    
         method.
     
         The DB_ENV->get_backup_config() method may
         be called at any time during the life of the application.
     
         The DB_ENV->get_backup_config() 
            
                  method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
            
            
        
    
The option parameter identifies the backup parameter to be retrieved. It must be one of the following:
                        DB_BACKUP_WRITE_DIRECT
                    
Turning this on causes direct I/O to be used when writing pages to the disk.
                        DB_BACKUP_READ_COUNT
                    
Configures the number of pages to read before pausing.
                        DB_BACKUP_READ_SLEEP
                    
Configures the number of microseconds to sleep between batches of reads.
                        DB_BACKUP_SIZE
                    
Configures the size of the buffer, in megabytes, to read from the database.
