HI Roosevelt,
running a backup_online command with a dot ('.') left a pending
process. And after issuing a backup_context_clear() the whole server
seemed to hang.
Below the step to do it:
Done. -- 271 msec.
SQL> backup_context_clear();
Done. -- 271 msec.
SQL> backup_online('./bkp_',10000);
Done. -- 271 msec.
SQL> backup_context_clear();
I will provide you with a patch for this issue shortly, but you should
know you should not have a path in the backup prefix at all, since
this can also makes it more difficult to restore a database if the
backups are in a different location.
As recommended, please use:
backup_online ('bkp_', 1000000);
which accomplishes the same thing.
If you want to write into a specific directory, you must use the
following:
backup_online ('bkp_', 1000000, 0, vector('/backup/virtuoso'));
