article, "IMAGE/SQL\with TurboIMAGE/XL Enhancements."
Storing Part of a Database (PARTIALDB)
When doing a 7x24 true-online backup, by default, TurboSTORE does not allow you to
specify an incomplete TurboIMAGE or ALLBASE/SQL database to be stored. If you want
to override this behavior, specify the PARTIALDB option. Any databases that are partially
stored are NOT quiesced at the sync point.
NOTE
Database corruption may result if not all database files are stored during a
7x24 true-online backup. Be sure that you only want to store certain database
files before overriding the default behavior with PARTIALDB.
Refer to the "Storing Database Files Using PARTIALDB or FULLDB" section in Chapter 6
for more information on using this option.
Creating a Disk Directory File (STOREDIRECTORY and
NOSTOREDIRECTORY)
When creating a 7x24 true-online backup with the sync point at the end of the backup, the
STOREDIRECTORY option is enabled by default. To override this behavior, specify the
NOSTOREDIRECTORY option. It is strongly recommended that you use the STOREDIRECTORY
option when creating true-online backups with the sync point at the end of the backup.
Doing so greatly increases recovery time when the backup needs to be restored.
Refer to the "Creating a Disk Directory File (STOREDIRECTORY and
NOSTOREDIRECTORY)" section in Chapter 6 for more detailed information on using the
STOREDIRECTORY option.
