End a continuous logical-log backup

To end continuous logical-log backup, press the Interrupt key (CTRL-C).

When you press the Interrupt key while the database server backs up a logical-log file to a local device, all logs that were backed up before the interrupt are captured on the tape and are marked as backed up by the database server.

When you press the Interrupt key while the database server waits for a logical-log file to fill (and thus is not backing up any logical-log files), all logs that were backed up before the interrupt reside on the tape and are marked as backed up by the database server.

When you press the Interrupt key while the database server performs a continuous backup to a remote device, any logical-log files that were backed up during this operation can or cannot reside on the tape, and are not marked as backed up by the database server (a good reason why you should not do continuous remote backups).

After you stop continuous logging, you must start a new tape for subsequent log backup operations.

You must explicitly request logical-log backups (by using ontape -a) until you restart continuous logging.
