        • External backup and restore
          • External backup and restore overviewAn external backup and restore eliminates the downtime of systems because the backup and restore operations are performed external to the HCL® OneDB® system.
            • Block before backing upBefore you begin an external backup, block the database server. Blocking forces a checkpoint, flushes buffers to disk, and blocks user transactions that involve temporary tables.
            • Rules for an external backup
            • Prepare for an external backup
              • Block and unblock database server
