Unscheduled backups
In addition to scheduled backups, you might have to perform additional backups for the following reasons:
*To run a large job with the No Crash Protection (-i) startup parameter—before running the job, back up the database and after-image files
*As part of the recovery process, to re-establish a valid environment
*Before and after any major changes to an application or database
*When installing a new release of the OpenEdge RDBMS
