Data backups are critical to ensure data integrity as a part of disaster recovery and business continuity planning. The c-treeACE dynamic dump feature provides a safe, secure method of backing up data while the server is operational. An administrator can schedule a dump of specific files, which is transparent to users and runs while the server is carrying on normal activity and processing transactions.
The forward dump utility, ctfdmp, can be used to recover from a catastrophic failure following the successful execution of a dynamic dump or from a full backup.
