DatabaseEnvironment..::.BackupDatabase Method
DatabaseEnvironment Class See Also Send Feedback

Perform a hot back up of a single database file contained within the environment.

To back up the entire environment, use the Backup(String, BackupOptions) method.

You can make some tuning modifications to the backup process using the BackupReadCount, BackupReadSleepDuration, BackupBufferSize, and BackupWriteDirect properties. Alternatively, you can write your own custom hot back up facility using the IBackup interface.
