Result
The result of a successful backup process is the creation of the .cssdmp file specified in the parameter -file. This file can then be used in the restore process (see below).
Supported data types
Ordinarily, the CSSBackup tool will backup a standard CAST AIP schema and all its data. However, if you have customized the schema (by adding new tables or adding new columns to existing tables), you may find that the customizations are not included in the backup result. This can occur when your customizations use data types that are not supported by the CSSBackup process. CAST supports only the following datatypes:
- integer
- double precision
- numeric
- varchar
- char
- timestamp
- text
- bytea
If an unsupported data type is encountered during the backup process, the table containing the unsupported data type will be excluded from the backup. A list of excluded tables is displayed in the log file, which you should check on completion of the backup process.
Backing up all CAST AIP schemas in one go
| Info |
|---|
|
In addition to the functions provided by the CSSBackup.exe tool, CAST provides a simple command line based method for backing up ALL CAST AIP schemas in your CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instance in one go. This backup can then be used to restore ALL the CAST AIP schemas to the same CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instance or to another CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instance. As such it is a fully functioning backup, i.e. you do not need to create the target CAST AIP schemas when subsequently running a restore process (see below).
To backup All CAST AIP schemas in one go, locate the file CSSBackupAll.exe. CAST recommends running the backup process from a batch file (make sure that all commands are placed on one single line and remember to surround any paths (i.e. to the .exe, dump file or log file) with quote marks if the path contains spaces). A typical command line to backup all CAST schemas would be as follows:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
CSSBackupAll.exe
-password <Operator_password>
-dumpdir <path_to_the_dump_folder>
-log <path_and_name_of_log_file.log> |
Required parameters
-password | CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instance "operator" password. | |||||||||||
-dumpdir | Path to the folder that will store the result of the backup action. This folder must already exist. | |||||||||||
-log | Path and name of output log file - does not need to exist already (logging functions in append mode). The resulting file is text based. Note that you can increase logging verbosity by using the parameter set CASTLOGMODE=DEBUG at the start of your command line, e.g.: Code Block |
In AIP Core ≥ 8.3.50, an additional text based log file is created in the same folder as specified by the -log option. This log file will be named as follows and contains the PostgreSQL tools log messages:
If you are using older AIP Core releases that do not provide the additional log file, you can increase logging verbosity by using the parameter set CASTLOGMODE=DEBUG at the start of your command line, e.g.:

| -verbose | Requires AIP Core ≥ 8.3.50. Use this option to toggle verbose log messages, specifically log messages generated by the PostgreSQL (pg_dump/pg_restore).
