Syntax Syntax

  1. brarchive -g|-abort stop|term|kill
End of the code.

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>.aab

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

The aborted archives 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.
