QUESTION

Safe to clean out C:\ProgramData\firebird folder when FB offline?

Asked 2020-Jan-12 at 12:11

Is it safe to clean out the contents of the C:\ProgramData\firebird folder, i.e. wipe it, when the Firebird service (superserver, v3.0) is not running?

I understand that it contains lock tables etc. so should not be touched while FB is running. But it's not clear to me if it can be wiped safely when FB is not running, or if it contains data that can be vital when FB starts up again.

My situation is that I'm migrating a VM with an FB installation. Migration has been done like this, due to practical reasons (uptime vs. file transfer & VM conversion time):

Snapshot of source VM, i.e. nightly backup is copied to new location. Source stays up and running. Copy process takes about 1 day. (We have the databases locked with nbackup when nightly snapshot is taken).
Snapshot is unpacked at target location, converted from VMWare to HyperV and brought online for additional reconfig and system testing.
A few days pass.
Both source and target Firebird services are stopped, so no database activity is going on anywhere.
Sync files from source to target, including database files. This file transfer is much smaller then in step 1 so it can be done during offline time.

In step 5 I find diffs in the C:\ProgramData\firebird folder, and I'm wondering what would be the best approach:

A) Wipe the folder at target.

B) Sync so target has the same content as source.

C) Leave target as is.

Please note that when FB service is started again at target, the database files will be identical with those at the source at the time of FB shutdown, and probably won't "match" the contents of C:\ProgramData\firebird at target. I would assume that this fact rules out option C).

The files in C:\ProgramData\firebird are only used during runtime of the Firebird server and contain transient data. It should be safe to delete these files when Firebird is not running.

In other words, when migrating from one server to another, you do not need to migrate the contents of C:\ProgramData\Firebird.

QUESTION

How to delete directory with .git folder in Python

Asked 2019-Apr-17 at 00:10

I am trying to create a program to help with my backups. It works by copying a project to a backup location. Before copying it does some checks. I check to see if the folder has been backed up previously, if it has I need that folder delted before copying the new backup.

When I backup projects that don't have a .git folder it works fine. As soon as a project directory has a .git folder, it breaks. It won't delete the .git folder, which messes up the rest of the program. I can't seem to find a way to delete the .git folder.

How to backup/restore a Firebird database?

Asked 2019-Feb-04 at 08:41

I am really confused here about Firebird v2.5 backup/restore process. What should I use to backup/restore a local Firebird database: fbsvcmgr.exe, gbak.exe, isql.exe or nbackup.exe

Are these all options or I am wrong about something!

What is the practical way to do it for a C++ application?

How should I know if a database already exists the first time, so I can decide whether to restore it or not.

...

ANSWER

Answered 2019-Feb-04 at 08:29

I usually use gbak (don't know about the others).

Backup

gbak -b -v -user SYSDBA -password "masterkey" D:\database.FDB E:\database.fbk

Restore

gbak -c -user SYSDBA -password masterkey E:\database.fbk E:\database_restore.fdb

If file exists for restore you could do it with gbak restore flags -c = create new file -r = replace file

Here is good page for FB backup/restore: http://www.destructor.de/firebird/gbak.htm

ANSWER

As the method is async, the backup.DoSaveAsync() line only start a Task but doesn't wait for the result, so you may call Console.ReadLine (and possibly exit your program) before the task is completed. You should return Task instead of void - it's generally bad design to have a void async method, and younhave to await backup.DoSaveAsync() either via await (if you call from an async method), either via .Wait().

Also, in case of error in GetData, you don't return any error for DoSaveAsync - you may want to deal with this, in the current code, you would print "Failed to get snapshot" and then "Backup has done successfully in SQL database". Consider to not use Console.ReadLine in GetData and return a Task in DoSaveAsync indicating success

No need to put a thread.sleep here - you already await the result.

Wrong or missing date format and time in mails

Asked 2017-Aug-09 at 08:19

In one MacOSX I found an issue with date and time while receiving mails from all my python scripts(in this case 2), where some are being received without any date, and others with a US format(month/day/year), not sure, and I want to use the day/month/year format, and others with wrong time. Seems to be almost random when it occurs.

For example in a webmail that I have installed in that server:

Nbackup itself can only back up local databases. However, in Firebird 2.5 and above its backup and restore tasks can also be performed remotely through the Services Manager.

You can use gbak to backup a remote database to local machine.

Here's the GBAK command:

The error code 80 in the error message is a Windows specific error code for ERROR_FILE_EXISTS. You can only restore an nbackup backup to a new database file, it will fail when you attempt to overwrite an existing database.

As written in the documentation of NBackup, Making and restoring backups:

If the specified database file already exists, the restore fails and you get an error message.

In Firebird 2.5 and earlier the error does not include the reason, in Firebird 3 it will show:
