Backing up to a UNIX File

In the interest of disaster recovery, Oracle does not recommend that you backup to a UNIX file unless the file is on a remote disk. See bdb.acsss.

To back up the ACSLS database to a UNIX file, do the following:

  1. Log in as acsss.
  2. From a terminal window enter the following command: 
    bdb.acsss -f db_file

    Where db_file specifies a UNIX file to contain the ACSLS database. You must have write permissions to the file.

  3. Wait for the following message to appear:

    ACSLS database backup successfully completed.
