--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-2969
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2969
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 10.2.2.0, 10.3.0.0, 10.4.0.0
            Reporter: Jørgen Løland
            Priority: Minor


The Admin Guide does not mention that the online backup functionality is 
non-blocking. The information that a backup can be made without blocking 
transactions may be of great interest to administrators.

Furthermore, this sentence implies that online backup is performed by 
*blocking* updates:
"The SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE() procedure puts the database into a 
state in which it can be safely copied, then copies the entire original 
database directory (including data files, online transaction log files, and jar 
files) to the specified backup directory.
