Hello,

I am looking at the API doc to use isc_service_start for database
backup/restore.
If I understand well, I can check if a task is already running using
the "current" service_handle (using isc_service_query and
isc_info_svc_running).

But, I would like to prevent my program from running several
tasks=backup/restore (in different service_handle) at the same time.
Mainly, I would like to avoid several backups of the *same* database.

Is there something I missed that could help ?


Am I right to assume the "isc_service_start" call is asynchronous ? I
cannot test it on a huge database for the moment to check manually.

We are using FB 1.5.

Regards,
Bénédicte
