Nope, you can only take an incremental backup of your database, but not using bdbpre.

Hi Gaurav,

If you have the time and opportunity, you can create a script that could take a sequential dump of tables (via bdbpre) prior to running your database backup. I've had clients do this so they could make a copy of their live data to load onto their test/dvlp servers.

Could you post the code you are using in the cronjob?

Ev

The reason why a cron job usually doesn't do what it is supposed to do is because of the fact that cron has no default environment set. So make sure you set any required environment variables in your script.

$BSE, $BSE_TMP and $PATH would be good environment variables to start with!
