<p>
In a stand-alone, non-replicated JE application, the log is
strictly append only. You use the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html" target="_top">DbBackup</a> class to help
applications coordinate while database operations are
continuing to add to the log. This helper class does this by
defining the log files needed for a consistent backup, and then freezes
all changes to those files, including any changes that might be
made by JE background operations. The application can copy
that defined set of files and finish operation without checking
for the ongoing creation of new files. Also, there will be no
need to check for a newer version of the last file on the next
backup.
</p>
<p>
When you are using JE HA, however, log files other than the
last log file might be modified as part of the HA sync-up
operation. Though a rare occurrence, such
modifications would invalidate the backup because there is the
chance that files are modified after being copied.
</p>
<p>
If this happens, <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html#endBackup()" target="_top">DbBackup.endBackup()</a> throws a
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/LogOverwriteException.html" target="_top">LogOverwriteException</a>. Upon encountering this exception, the
backup files should be discarded and a new set of backup files
created.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> for (int i=0; i &lt; BACKUP_RETRIES; i++) {
final ReplicatedEnvironment repEnv = ...;
final DbBackup backupHelper = new DbBackup(repEnv);
backupHelper.startBackup();
String[] filesForBackup =
backupHelper.getLogFilesInBackupSet();
/* Copy the files to archival storage. */
myApplicationCopyMethod(filesForBackup);
try {
backupHelper.endBackup();
break;
} catch (LogOverwriteException e) {
/* Remove backed up files. */
myApplicationCleanupMethod();
continue;
} finally {
repEnv.close();
}
} </pre>
