Backup File Names

Backup File Names

By default, backup files are stored in install-dir\Mgr\Backup. The backup log files are stored in the same directory. Backup files have the suffix .cbk. Backup log files have the suffix .log.

Backup files and backup log files use the same naming conventions:

  • The name of the backup task, followed by an underscore character (_)

  • The date of the backup, in yyyymmdd format, followed by an underscore character (_)

  • The numeric suffix, nnn, of the name of the new journal file following the journal switch triggered when the backup task begins (see Switch Journal Files

  • The .log or .cbk suffix

For example, if the new journal file after the switch triggered by the FullDBList backup task is named 20211031.003, the name of the backup file is FullDBList_20211031_003.cbk and the name of the backup log file is FullDBList_20211031_003.log.
