CertSrvBackupPrepare function
The CertSrvBackupPrepare function is used to prepare a Certificate Services server for backup operations.
Syntax
HRESULT CertSrvBackupPrepare(
_In_ const WCHAR *pwszServerName,
_In_ ULONG grbitJet,
_In_ ULONG dwBackupFlags,
_Out_ HCSBC *phbc
);
Parameters
- pwszServerName [in]
-
A pointer to the machine name of the server to prepare for online backup. This name can be the NetBIOS name or the DNS name.
- grbitJet [in]
-
Value used by the database engine; this value should be set to zero.
- dwBackupFlags [in]
-
Specifies the backup type. This can be either of the following values.
Value Meaning - CSBACKUP_TYPE_FULL
Backup the Certificate Services database, logs and related files.
- CSBACKUP_TYPE_LOGS_ONLY
Backup the log files only.
- phbc [out]
-
A pointer to a Certificate Services backup context handle (HCSBC).
Return value
The return value is an HRESULT. A value of S_OK indicates success, and *phbc will be set to an HCSBC which can be used by other Certificate Services backup APIs.
Remarks
Before a Certificate Services backup can occur, it is necessary to create an HCSBC by means of CertSrvBackupPrepare. The resulting HCSBC is a necessary parameter of Certificate Services backup functions which can be used to list, open, read, and close files, as well as truncate the log files.
This function's name in Certadm.dll is CertSrvBackupPrepareW. You must use this form of the name when calling GetProcAddress. Also, this function is defined as type FNCERTSRVBACKUPPREPAREW in the Certbcli.h header file.
To execute this call, you must have the backup privilege. For details, see Setting the Backup and Restore Privileges.
Examples
WCHAR * wszServer = L"MyCertServerMachine"; FNCERTSRVBACKUPPREPAREW* pfnBackupPrepare; char * szBackPrepFunc = "CertSrvBackupPrepareW"; HINSTANCE hInst=0; HCSBC hCSBC=NULL; HRESULT hr=0; // Load the DLL. hInst = LoadLibrary(L"Certadm.dll"); if ( NULL == hInst ) { printf("Failed LoadLibrary, error=%d\n", GetLastError() ); exit(1); // Or other appropriate error action. } // Get the address for the desired function. pfnBackupPrepare = (FNCERTSRVBACKUPPREPAREW*)GetProcAddress( hInst, szBackPrepFunc ); if ( NULL == pfnBackupPrepare ) { printf("Failed GetProcAddress - %s, error=%d\n", szBackPrepFunc, GetLastError() ); exit(1); // Or other appropriate error action. } // Prepare CertServ for backup. hr = pfnBackupPrepare(wszServer, 0, CSBACKUP_TYPE_FULL, &hCSBC); if (FAILED(hr)) { printf("Failed pfnBackupPrepare call [%x]\n", hr); exit(1); // Or other appropriate error action. } // Use the HCSBC for backup operations. // ... // When done processing, release the HCSBC context // by calling CertSrvBackupEnd (not shown here). // ... // Done processing, free the DLL. if (hInst) FreeLibrary(hInst);
