Execute the rcxmgrbackup command.
Periodically executing the rcxmgrbackup command allows the contents of updates to the database that are recorded in saved WAL files
to be maintained for a certain period of time. For example, when the rcxmgrbackup command is executed every hour, the contents of
updates performed in the most recent one-hour period will be saved.
For details on the command, refer to "6.6 rcxmgrbackup" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".

10.1.3.1 Items to be Determined Before Periodic Execution
The following items must be determined before periodic execution is implemented.
Items What to Decide
Frequency and timing of base backup
Determine the frequency of base backup.
Example: 3:00 a.m. on the 1st of every month
Frequency and timing of differential backup
Determine the frequency of differential backup.
Example: Once per hour
Location of backup
Determine the location of the backup. Setting a disk other than the
disk that installed the product is recommended.
In addition, sufficient capacity is required to be able to store the
backup file.
Refer to "10.1.5 Online Backup Settings for Metering" for information on how to set the backup destination.
10.1.3.2 Settings for Periodic Execution of Backup
The following two settings are required in order to perform periodic execution of backup:
- Settings for periodic execution of base backup
- Setting for periodic execution of WAL file save
Note
- If this procedure has been used to start batch files using the Task Scheduler, a command prompt is displayed while the batch files are
being executed. Do not close this command prompt.
- When an error occurs at periodic execution of online backup, a message with the error code 67198 will be output to the log files. If
the occurrence of errors is being monitored, use software for monitoring the log files to monitor this error message. For details on the
error message, refer to "Message number 67198" in "Messages".
Settings for Periodic Execution of Base Backup
Specify settings so that a base backup is taken periodically.
Use Windows Task Scheduler as a mechanism for periodically executing commands. Refer to Windows Help for information on how to
set the Task Scheduler.
This section describes an example of a setup procedure for implementing a backup at 3:00 a.m. on the 1st of every month.
1. From the Windows [Start] menu, select [Administrative Tools]-[Task Scheduler] to start the Task Scheduler.
