The hot-backup command allows the set up and control of a hot backup configuration. Without any arguments, a menu displays. This is the normal form of operation. For more information on Hot Backup, see the Hot Backup section of the D3 System Administration Guide.

| command | Specifies the operation to perform on the specified server. Some of these operations are also available from the Hot Backup menus. | |
| debug | Forces the specified server to enter the BASIC debugger. Debug the server using tandem. This option is for testing only. | |
| dump | For slave servers only. Displays the location of the openfiles
and openlist structures. Note: If the structures are extensive, the
display time may be substantial. During this time, the server does
not respond to commands or transactions from the master server.
|

| pstatus | Displays performance statistics for the specified server,
including the number of times a routine is called and the approximate

hot-backup
To start hot-backup in the foreground, use either:
hot-backup start server=<servername> (f
or
hot-backup (f
In the second example, the menu can still be used. However, when selecting start, the server starts on that line in the foreground.
The following example starts the only server on the virtual machine.
hot-backup start
Starts the todev master server and the fromprod slave server and obtains the status on both servers.
hot-backup start server=todev hot-backup start server=fromprod hot-backup status server=todev hot-backup status server=fromprod
