Backup and Restore

Sophia supports asynchronous Hot/Online Backups.

Each backup iteration creates exact copy of environment, then assigns backup sequential number. Sophia v2.2 does not support incremental backup.

backup.path must be set with a specified folder which will contain resulting backup folders. To start a backup, user must initiate backup.run procedure first. Procedure call is fast and does not block.

sp_setint(env, "backup.run", 0);

backup.active and backup.last_complete variables can be examined to see if backup process is in progress or being succesfully completed.

To restore from a backup, a suitable backup version should be picked, copied and used as sophia.path directory.
