Identifying the Backup Server

Adaptive Server backups are performed by Backup Server, an Open Server™-based program that runs on the same host as Adaptive Server. Before backing up a database, make sure that the Backup Server for your Adaptive Server is up and running and that it is correctly identified in the interfaces file. Also, the login of the person who starts Backup Server (usually “sybase”) must have write permission for the physical dump device on which the backup is created.
