Hello. I'm pretty new to working with SQLANYWHERE and am running into a problem trying to backup the transaction log using the command line. I've done a search through the group for similar problems, but none of those solutions has worked for me. Below is the syntax I am using (db names and hosts redacted).

dbbackup -c "ENG=##DB##;DBN=##DB##;links=tcpip(host=##host##);UID=###;PWD=###;" -x e:\##BACKUP_FILE##

Is there a problem in my syntax here? I have tried to use both the host name and IP address of my server in the links area. I am running this directly on my server. I'm at a loss right now.

Thanks,
Jon

I forgot to mention that I am running SQLANYWHERE16 on Windows.

Found my problem. I needed to include "_primary" after the host name in the ENG.
