TIBCBackupService in Thread

[o_robert]

Can i run TIBSBackupService in Thread ?

When i set and run:
backup.user, password, database, BackupFile, attach, ServiceStart

backup file is created, but backup "not working" - file size is always 0. When i check IsServiceRunning - always is true;

Maybe problem with ProcessMesages ?

It seems that you set the IBCBackupService.Verbose property to True in order to perform backup in the verbose mode, but don't retrieve the backup log from the service. So, the output buffer of the service is never becomes empty and the service can not stop.
To avoid the problem please try one of the following approaches:
- set the IBCBackupService.Verbose property to False to avoid using the verbose mode;
- if there is need to use the verbose mode, you should use the code like shown below after the service start:

Code: Select all

var
 fLogLine: string;
...
while not (IBCBackupService.Eof) do begin
 fLogLine := IBCBackupService.GetNextLine;
 // do something with the log line ...
end;
