DESCRIPTION
The nbdb_backup command enables the customer to make either an online backup or offline backup of the SQL Anywhere files to a file system directory. Use this command to perform maintenance operations and make a copy of a database.

Online backup - the database is up and in operation during the backup.
Offline backup - shuts down the database.
- destination_directory

- -tlog_only
 Generates only the database transaction log backup along with the configuration files for an online backup.
- -truncate_tlog
 Truncates the database transaction log after the backup completes on an online backup.
