Use the DBCOPY Utility

You must change the location where you want to run the DBCOPY utility. In this example, file is copied to a file location called Backup. After it runs, the command prompt will show the path to the Config_A.

Syntax

<path1>\dbcopy -L <db_ name> <path2><backup_db_name>

Where:

<path1> is the source location of the database that you want to back up (for example, C:\Program Files\AVEVA\Batch Management\cfg\Config_A).

-L enables database locking. (This is required.)

<db_name> is the source database that you want to back up (for example, ModelDB).

<path2> is the destination location (for example, C:\Backup).

<backup_db_name> is the backup database name (for example, ModelDB).

Example

C:\Program Files\Wonderware\Batch Management\cfg\Config_A\dbcopy -L ModelDB C:\Backup\ModelDB

WARNING! Do not use DBCOPY to back up configuration databases while Update Runtime or Update Configuration is in progress. Your data can become corrupt.
