If
the THRESHOLD parameter is present, dcbckdib will
ensure
that the backup partition contains at least <threshold-
in-Kb>
+ <maximum-size-of-back-up> disk space.
•
If
the THRESHOLD parameter is not present, dcbckdib will
ensure
that the backup partition contains at least twice the
<maximum-size-of-back-up>
disk space.
The
exact size of the compressed data with the original
uncompressed
data depends on the particular directory
information
being backed up. To prevent running out of disk
space,
<maximum-size-of-back-up>, is calculated as the size of
the
uncompressed database.
dcbckdib
will pause the server while it performs a backup.
This
ensures that the backup will reflect a consistent state of the
directory.
If the backup fails immediately, because there is not
enough
disk hspace, either delete unwanted files or choose a
directory
on a different drive before proceeding with the backup.
Automating
the
Backup
Process
You
can take advantage of the Windows Task Scheduler function
to
schedule automatic backups. This process requires Microsoft
Internet
Explorer version 5.0 or later. Automating the backup
process
involves:
•
Creating
a batch file – general instructions on how to create a
batch
file to back up the directory.
•
Scheduling
the process – using Windows Task Scheduler to
automate
the backup process
