## Interface BackupHandler

-     public interface BackupHandler

  An interface that can optionally be used to override the default behavior performed by the `Environment.backup` and `Environment.backupDatabase` methods. Implementation of this interface is required if the Environment.backup or Environment.backupDatabase target parameter is null.

  You configure the environment with this handler using the `EnvironmentConfig.setBackupHandler` method.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### close

          int close(java.lang.String dbname)

      Called when ending a backup and closing a backup target.

      Parameters:
        `dbname` - The name of the database that has been backed up.
      Returns:
        error code; zero if there is no error

    - #### open

          int open(java.lang.String target,
                   java.lang.String dbname)

      Called when a target location is opened during a backup. This method should do whatever is necessary to prepare the backup destination for writing the data.

      Parameters:
        `target` - The backup's directory destination.

        `dbname` - The name of the database being backed up.
      Returns:
        error code; zero if there is no error

    - #### write

          int write(long file_pos,
                    byte[] buf,
                    int off,
                    int len)

      Called when writing data during a backup.

      Parameters:
        `file_pos` - Identifies the position in the target file where the bytes from the buffer should be written.

        `buf` - Identifies the buffer which contains the data to be backed up.

        `off` - Specifies the start of the data in the buffer. This will always be zero.

        `len` - Identifies the number of bytes to back up from the buffer.
      Returns:
        error code; zero if there is no error
