ONESTEP_BACKUP Function

Syntax

Description

ONESTEP_BACKUP() creates a backup of the database. The process is the same as using the Tools > Backup/Restore Database > One-step Backup... command. This command depends on the settings defined using View > Settings > Backup and Tools > Backup/Restore Database > Backup Database... commands.

Example

Note : You can use the ON_DATABASE_EXIT()function to register a ONESTEP_BACKUP() command.

dim cmd as C
cmd = "ui_msg_box(\"Backing up\",\"\");"
cmd = cmd + "onestep_backup() ;"
cmd = cmd + "a5.close() "
on_database_exit(cmd)

Note : You cannot backup a database using this function until you have defined One-Step-Backup settings. You also cannot backup a Shadow Database.
