leveldown-hyper
is a fork of leveldown

as backend. It extends the leveldown
api with functionality to do live backups. This README only documents the liveBackup()
method. For a complete reference we refer to leveldown
.
leveldown
can be considered an upstream repository to leveldown-hyper
and any common logic and bug fixes will be merged from upstream into this repository.
If you are upgrading: please see UPGRADING.md.
db.liveBackup(name, callback)
<code>liveBackup()</code> is an instance method on an existing database object, used to make a live backup of the current state of the database.
The name
parameter is a String
. A successful live backup will result in a backup folder named backup-:name
inside the location
folder of the current database.
The callback
function will be called with no arguments when a live backup was successful, or with a single error
argument if the backup operation failed for any reason.
