Description

This method backs up a Geodatabase. 

Remarks

You must specify the Geodatabase to be backed up, the name of the backup file to be created and a name identifying the backup itself. The description parameter is optional and may be set to 0.

If the Geodatabase has been set to something other than simple recovery model, then this method will fail and the IsSimpleRecoveryModel parameter will be set to TRUE.

You must be a server administrator or have geodatabase admin permissions (esriPermAdmin) to perform this operation.
