Hi there,
I need to create a backup job to create a local backup to disk that will then back up the file to tape using Backup Exec.
Reading some of the sybase material I have come a number of backup options and am considering online backups as the way to go.
I would welcome advice and suggestions on the following:
What is the preferred backup method used?
What are the downsides to performing a online backup?
Will the log files be flushed when the backup runs?
What are the command line options for setting up the job? I am planning to use scheduled tasks to run a batch file that will perform the backup.
I intend running the following command line to perform an online backup:
dbbackup -c "UID=DBA;PWD=jason;ENG=server;DBN=database" –y D:\dbbkup - will this do the job or are there any switches I may have missed?
Many thanks in advance and apologies for the many questions

I would appreciate any views on the best backup method to use. Also appreciate
