Remarks

Various

<Connection variable>.InfoBackup is used to list the tasks performed or the current tasks. The scheduled tasks that have not been performed are not listed.
The backups performed by the HFSQL Control Center and the ones performed by programming are listed.
The dates and times are expressed in universal time (UTC).

Versions 23 and later

Necessary rights

To get in formation about a backup, the user or the group must have:

for each database affected by the backup, the rights to perform backups (hRightsBackup constant) or the rights to connect (hRightsConnection or hRightsEncryptedConnection constant).
for a full server backup, the rights to perform backups (hRightsBackup constant) on the server.

To find out whether these rights are granted to a user or to a group, use <Connection variable>.InfoServerRights or <Connection variable>.InfoDatabaseRights.

To modify the rights granted to a user or to a group of users, use <Connection variable>.ModifyServerRights or <Connection variable>.ModifyDatabaseRights.
