The Save / Log menu function creates a backup of the whole log. After successful termination of the backup operation, the log is cleared if the server database is in WARM operating mode. In COLD mode, the log is not cleared after the backup.
Save / Log cannot be executed in log mode DEMO.
The log should always be saved in WARM mode. The log must be backed up in adequate time intervals (e.g., daily), unless the backup is performed on log segments.
| Note: | Save / Log is also provided in COLD mode, but has another meaning there. A log saved in COLD mode cannot be used for a restore within a sequence of log backups. A log saved in COLD mode can only be used to save the last state before starting a restore operation. A log saved in COLD mode is always the last log to be restored after all the other log or log segment backup versions have been restored. |
