ZimBackup

Performs real-time and on-line backups of Zim databases.

Unix Syntax

[nohup] zimbackup [-k] &

Windows NT Syntax

[start] zimbackup [-k]

Parameters

-koptional parameter to stop Zim Backup Server

Comments

Zim Backup Server, working together with Zim Server, performs a real-time, online backup of any databases being serviced by Zim Server.

All modifications performed by Zim Server in a given database are subsequently applied to a copy of the database so that, in fact, there are two “live” databases, one which is the real database that Zim Server is managing to serve all users and a second one, which is an exact copy of the first one.

If something happens to the real database, Zim Backup Server can be stopped in the copy database, Zim Server can immediately start running in this copy database and users can reestablish their Zim sessions.

Before starting servicing users, Zim Server applies committed transactions to the backup database and then opens access to users.

Zim Backup can be stopped at any moment and let the backup databases be copied to another place. Later, Zim Backup can be restarted and all modifications to the real databases are applied in succession to the backup databases.

For operational details, refer to Database Backup.

BYE

Comments

The BYE command ends the current application session, when encountered.

If an application document called ZIMBYE exists and contains an application program, that program is automatically executed before the session ends. Depending on how you exit Zim, the zimbye is not necessarily executed. To ensure that the ZIMBYE application document is executed, exit Zim using the BYE command.
