Procedure documentation autolog_on Locate the document in the library structure

Use

You activate automatic backup of the log area.

The first time you activate automatic log backup, you need to specify the name of a backup medium that is defined for log backup on which the system will automatically backup the log area. You can create this for LOG or AUTO backup types. If you specify a backup medium that was created for the LOG backup type, the system will convert this property to AUTO.

If automatic log backup has been activated before and you do not specify a backup medium, the system will revert to the last medium used for automatic log backup.

Recommendation

For security reasons, store the version files that automatic backup creates on another backup medium outside the database computer.
