This BRBACKUP command option aborts backup runs. To abort BRBACKUP, you open a separate command window to enter the command shown below.

            -g|-gun|-abort stop|term|kill

Default value: none

Possible values:

  • stop: causes a soft abort

  • term: causes a normal abort

  • kill: causes a hard abort

The abort generates a short log file in the relevant log file directory:

  • UNIX: <saparch>/<coded timestamp>.bab

  • Windows: <saparch>\<coded timestamp>.bab

The aborted backups are marked as faulty. However, you might be able to later use them for certain purposes (such as a fill-up), especially if the abort was soft.
