How do you backup a metakit database? The cold case is obvious as usual, ensure that no one else has the database file open prior to making a copy of the data with a file level tools (cp, tar etc). What are the options for hot (i.e. open with an active writer) backups? I noticed the information in the python api reference for doing this from the writer thread/process, but are there any options for doing it externally? If the file is open commit-extend, can you use the same trick if you open the datbase read-only in a 2nd process? If using commit-aside, is it then safe to just low-level copy the "main" database? Is journaling planned? I.e. point in time recoverability between backups. /Allan _____________________________________________ Metakit mailing list - [email protected] http://www.equi4.com/mailman/listinfo/metakit
