excludeFromBackup

Type: Boolean

The read-only excludeFromBackup property of the DbFile class is initialized by internal schema maintenance routines when a DbFile instance is created.

User backup methods, which enumerate database files using the JadeDatabaseAdmin class getDbFiles method, should test this property before calling the DbFile class backupFile method. If this property is set to true, the file should be excluded from backups. This property is set to true on:

• System files; that is, when the kind property contains Kind_System (indicating that the database category contains _system, _sysxrf, _sysgui, _sysint, _sysdev, _systools, _ jadeapp, _ jadedef, and _sysdef files)

• Certain control and environmental files, including the _control, _reorg, and _environ files
