HInfoBackup (Function)

In french: HInfoSauvegarde

Available only with this kind of connection

Returns information about one or more backups performed on an HFSQL Client/Server server.

The backups have been performed by HBackup (or via the HFSQL Control Center) and they can be restored by HRestoreBackup (or via the HFSQL Control Center).

Example

// Affiche les informations sur les sauvegardes dans un champ Table
sEtat is string = HInfoBackup(gcnxConnexion)
sLig is string
FOR EACH STRING sLig OF sEtat SÉPARÉE BY EOT
IF sLig ~="" THEN CONTINUE
TableAdd(TABLE_Sauvegardes)
nInd is int = TableCount(TABLE_Sauvegardes)
TABLE_Sauvegardes.COL_IDSauvegarde[nInd] = ExtractString(sLig, 1)
TABLE_Sauvegardes.COL_DateHeure[nInd] = ExtractString(sLig, 2)
TABLE_Sauvegardes.COL_Filtre[nInd] = ExtractString(sLig, 3)
TABLE_Sauvegardes.COL_Nom[nInd] = ExtractString(sLig, 4)
TABLE_Sauvegardes.COL_Description[nInd] = ExtractString(sLig, 5)
TABLE_Sauvegardes.COL_Etat[nInd] = ...
SWITCH(Val(ExtractString(sLig, 6)) + 1, "En cours", "Effectuée", "Annulée", "Erreur")
TABLE_Sauvegardes.COL_PourMille[nInd] = ExtractString(sLig, 7)
END

Syntax

Information about the backups performed on the server Hide the details

<Result> = HInfoBackup(<Connection>)

<Result>: Character string

Description of backups performed on the specified server. This description has the following format:
<Identifiant de la sauvegarde 1> + TAB + <Date de la sauvegarde 1> + TAB +
<Fichiers sauvegardés> + TAB + <Chemin de la destination de la sauvegarde 1> + TAB +
<Description> + TAB + <Etat> + TAB + <Pour mille> + TAB + <Message d'erreur> + TAB +
<Type> + TAB + <Identifiant de la sauvegarde complète> + TAB + <Avec index> + TAB +
<Compression> + EOT
where:
<Files Saved> is the list of data saved separated by semicolons (";").
<Status> corresponds to an integer (or to an Integer constant) used to find out the backup status:
hBackupCanceled 2 Backup canceled
hBackupCompleted 1 Backup completed
hBackupError 3 Error during backup
hBackupInProgress 0 Backup in progress
<Per Thousand> corresponds to the rate of backup completion if the backup is in progress (expressed in per thousand).
<Error Message> is the error message if the backup failed.
<Type> corresponds to an integer (or to an Integer constant) used to find out the type of backup:
hBackupDifferential 1 Differential backup
hBackupFull 0 Full backup
<Identifier of Full Backup> corresponds to the identifier of the corresponding full backup in case of differential backup.
<With Index>: Used to find out whether the backup contains the indexes:
0 if the backup of indexes was not performed,
1 if the backup of indexes was performed.
<Compression>: Constant corresponding to the backup compression:
zipFormatNone: the backup is not compressed.
zipFormatZip: the backup is compressed.
Remark: the separator used between the different descriptions is "EOT" (instead of "CR") because the different description parameters can contain Carriage Return characters (CR).

<Connection>: Character string or Connection variable

Connection to the server whose backups will be listed. This connection corresponds to:
the name of the connection defined in the data model editor or with HDescribeConnection or HOpenConnection.
the name of a variable of type Connection.

Information about a specific backup Hide the details

<Result> = HInfoBackup(<Connection> , <Backup identifier>)

<Error Message> is the error message if the backup failed.
<Type> corresponds to an integer (or to an Integer constant) used to find out the type of backup:
hBackupDifferential 1 Differential backup
hBackupFull 0 Full backup
<Identifier of Full Backup> corresponds to the identifier of the corresponding full backup in case of differential backup.
<With Index>: Used to find out whether the backup contains the indexes:
0 if the backup of indexes was not performed,
1 if the backup of indexes was performed.
<Compression>: Constant corresponding to the backup compression:
zipFormatNone: the backup is not compressed.
zipFormatZip: the backup is compressed.
Remark: the separator used between the different descriptions is "EOT" (instead of "CR") because the different description parameters can contain Carriage Return characters (CR).

<Connection>: Character string or Connection variable

Connection to the server that performed the backup. This connection corresponds to:
the name of the connection defined in the data model editor or with HDescribeConnection or HOpenConnection.
the name of a variable of type Connection.

<Backup identifier>: Integer

Identifier of backup whose characteristics are requested. This identifier is returned by HBackup.

Remarks

Miscellaneous

HInfoBackup is used to list the tasks performed or the current tasks. The scheduled tasks that have not been performed are not listed.
The backups performed by the HFSQL Control Center and the ones performed by programming are listed.
The dates and times are expressed in universal time (UTC).

Necessary rights

To get in formation about a backup, the user or the group must have:

for each database affected by the backup, the rights to perform backups (hRightsBackup constant) or the rights to connect (hRightsConnection or hRightsEncryptedConnection constant).
for a full server backup, the rights to perform backups (hRightsBackup constant) on the server.

To find out whether these rights are granted to a user or to a group, use HInfoServerRights or HInfoDatabaseRights.

To modify the rights granted to a user or to a group of users, use HModifyServerRights or HModifyDatabaseRights.

Training (WINDEV): WD Duplication

[ + ] This educational example explains how to duplicate a database on a server.
The duplication is performed by programming and it allows you to give a new name to the database.
The example is based on the functions for saving and restoring a HFSQL backup.
