Interface BackupHandler

public interface BackupHandler

An interface that can optionally be used to override the default behavior performed by the Environment.backup and Environment.backupDatabase methods. Implementation of this interface is required if the Environment.backup or Environment.backupDatabase target parameter is null.

You configure the environment with this handler using the EnvironmentConfig.setBackupHandler method.

Method Summary

int	close(String dbname) Called when ending a backup and closing a backup target.
int	open(String target, String dbname) Called when a target location is opened during a backup.
int	write(long file_pos, byte[] buf, int off, int len) Called when writing data during a backup.

Method Detail

close

int close(String dbname)

Called when ending a backup and closing a backup target.

Parameters:

dbname - The name of the database that has been backed up.

open

Parameters:

target - The backup's directory destination.

dbname - The name of the database being backed up.

write

int write(long file_pos,
          byte[] buf,
          int off,
          int len)

Called when writing data during a backup.

Parameters:

file_pos - Identifies the position in the target file where the bytes from the buffer should be written.

off - Specifies the start of the data in the buffer. This will always be zero.
