Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

> ## Enabling after-imaging

> Use the RFUTIL utility with the AIMAGE BEGIN qualifier to enable after-imaging. The use of after-imaging requires a recent backup of the database because the database backup and AI files are treated as a recoverable set of files.

> | To enable after-imaging for a database:

> 1. Create the AI areas in your database. See the "Creating after-image areas" section for detailed instructions.

> 2. Back up your database.

> 3. After you back up your database, use the following syntax to enable after-imaging:

>     rfutil db-name -C aimage begin

> If the database has been modified since it was last backed up, RFUTIL displays an error message and does not enable after-imaging.
