BackupWrite
The BackupWrite function writes a stream of data from a buffer to a specified file or
directory. The data must be divided into substreams separated by WIN32_STREAM_ID structures. You use this function to restore a file or directory that has
been backed up.
BOOL BackupWrite(
HANDLE hFile,
| // handle to file or directory
| LPBYTE lpBuffer,
| // pointer to buffer containing data to write
| DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite,
| // number of bytes to write
| LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten,
| // pointer to variable to receive number of bytes written
| BOOL bAbort,
| // termination type
| BOOL bProcessSecurity,
| // process security
| LPVOID *lpContext
| // pointer to pointer to internal context information
| );
|
|
Parameters
hFile
Handle to the file or directory being restored. The function writes data to
this file. You obtain this handle by calling the CreateFile function.
The BackupWrite function fails if CreateFile was called with the flag FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING. In this case, the GetLastError function returns the value ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.
lpBuffer
Pointer to a buffer that the function writes data from.
nNumberOfBytesToWrite
Specifies the length of the buffer. The buffer size must be greater than the
size of a WIN32_STREAM_ID structure.
lpNumberOfBytesWritten
Pointer to a variable that, when the function returns, contains the number of
bytes written.
bAbort
Specifies whether BackupWrite terminated abnormally. If this value is TRUE, the operation terminated
abnormally and all buffers were deallocated.
bProcessSecurity
Specifies whether the function will restore the access-control list (ACL) data
for the file or directory.
If bProcessSecurity is TRUE, you need to have specified WRITE_OWNER and WRITE_DAC access when
opening the file or directory handle. If the handle does not have those access
rights, the operating system denies access to the ACL data, and ACL data
restoration will not occur.
lpContext
Pointer to a variable that receives and holds a pointer to an internal data
structure used by BackupWrite to maintain context information during a restore operation.
You must set the variable pointed to by lpContext to NULL before the first call to BackupWrite for the specified file or directory. The function allocates memory for the
data structure, and then sets the variable to point to that structure. You must
not change lpContext or the variable that it points to between calls to BackupWrite.
To release the memory used by the data structure, call BackupWrite with the bAbort parameter set to TRUE when the restore operation is complete.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero, indicating that an I/O error
occurred. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The BACKUP_LINK stream type lets you restore files with hard links.
Data obtained by the BackupRead function should only be used as input to the BackupWrite function.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
