conn::MActiveBackupDataClient Class Reference

class conn::MActiveBackupDataClient

MActiveBackupDataClient is a Mixin to be implemented by an Active Backup client. The client connects to the Secure Backup Server using the CActiveBackupClient class and provides an instance of MActiveBackupDataClient to be called for a range of functions.

The bulk transfer of data and snapshots is expected to be by means of shared heaps for performance reasons so the API is expected to change in these areas.

Member Functions Documentation

AllSnapshotsSuppliedL()

void AllSnapshotsSuppliedL ( ) [pure virtual]

This method informs the active backup data client that all snapshots have been supplied. If the client has not received a snapshot then it should perform a base backup.

GetBackupDataSectionL(TPtr8 &, TBool &)

void GetBackupDataSectionL ( TPtr8 & aBuffer,
TBool & aFinished
) [pure virtual]

This method requests a section of backup data. InitialiseGetBackupDataL() will have been called prevously to specify the drive concerned. The data returned may be base or incremental depending on the type of backup and the capability of the data owner.

Parameters

TPtr8 & aBuffer a pointer to the base of the location where data can be copied.
TBool & aFinished on return ETrue if all data has been returned for this drive, else EFalse.

GetDataChecksum(TDriveNumber)

TUint GetDataChecksum ( TDriveNumber aDrive ) [pure virtual]

Gets a 32-bit checksum for its private data. This routine is for test purposes. It must be implemented but an invariant checksum value can be provided. Some tests may cause checksum values to be compared.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive containing data being checksummed

GetExpectedDataSize(TDriveNumber)

TUint GetExpectedDataSize ( TDriveNumber aDrive ) [pure virtual]

This method returns the expected size of backup data that will be supplied. If an incremental backup is underway then this method will not be called until after ReceiveSnapshotDataL() . The size data will be used for the purpose of tracking progess during a backup. If it is inaccurate then the user may see irregular progress but the actual backup data will not be affected so it is acceptable to return an estimated value.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being backed up.

GetExtendedInterface(const TInt32)

TAny * GetExtendedInterface ( const TInt32 aUid ) [inline, virtual]

Gets an extended interface based on a supplied uid.

Parameters

const TInt32 aUid Uid which identifies an extended interface

GetSnapshotDataL(TDriveNumber, TPtr8 &, TBool &)

void GetSnapshotDataL ( TDriveNumber aDrive,
TPtr8 & aBuffer,
TBool & aFinished
) [pure virtual]

This method returns a snapshot of data to accompany a backup. The snapshot is expected to contain details on files / data being backed up. The format of the snapshot is only meaningful to the data owner. The snapshot will be supplied if the data owner is asked for an incremental backup and for a restore operation. The snapshot data should be copied to the location supplied. The snapshot data may be larger than the location supplied in which case the routine will be called repeatedly until all data has been retrieved.

leave
KErrNotSupported if the data owner does not support incremental backups.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being backed up
TPtr8 & aBuffer a pointer to the base of the location where data can be copied.
TBool & aFinished on return ETrue if all data has been returned for this drive, else EFalse.

InitialiseGetBackupDataL(TDriveNumber)

void InitialiseGetBackupDataL ( TDriveNumber aDrive ) [pure virtual]

This method prepares the implementor to return backup data. It will be followed by a sequence of calls to request the actual data.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being backed up.

InitialiseGetProxyBackupDataL(TSecureId, TDriveNumber)

void InitialiseGetProxyBackupDataL ( TSecureId aSID,
TDriveNumber aDrive
) [inline, virtual]

This method prepares the implementor to return backup data on behalf of another data owner. It will be followed by a sequence of calls to request the actual data. This method is only for use by a proxy data manager that backs up data on behalf of other data owners. There is no corresponding method for snapshots as it is assumed that a proxy data manager will only handle base data.

Initialises the proxy backup data

This is not supported here.

leave
KErrNotSupported Always.

Parameters

TSecureId aSID the secure Id
TDriveNumber aDrive the driver number

InitialiseRestoreBaseDataL(TDriveNumber)

void InitialiseRestoreBaseDataL ( TDriveNumber aDrive ) [pure virtual]

This method prepares the implementor to receive base restore data for a drive. It will be followed by a sequence of calls to supply the actual data.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being restored.

InitialiseRestoreIncrementDataL(TDriveNumber)

void InitialiseRestoreIncrementDataL ( TDriveNumber aDrive ) [pure virtual]

This method prepares the implementor to receive incremental restore data for a drive. It will be followed by a sequence of calls to supply the actual data. If multiple increments are supplied then this methid will be called before each increment.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being restored.

InitialiseRestoreProxyBaseDataL(TSecureId, TDriveNumber)

void InitialiseRestoreProxyBaseDataL ( TSecureId aSID,
TDriveNumber aDrive
) [inline, virtual]

This method prepares the implementor to receive base restore data for another data owner for a drive. It will be followed by a sequence of calls to supply the actual data. This method is only for use by a proxy data manager that restores up data on behalf of other data owners. There is no corresponding method for incremental data as it is assumed that a proxy data manager will only handle base data.

Parameters

TSecureId aSID the data owner whose data is to be restored
TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being restored.

ReceiveSnapshotDataL(TDriveNumber, TDesC8 &, TBool)

void ReceiveSnapshotDataL ( TDriveNumber aDrive,
TDesC8 & aBuffer,
TBool aLastSection
) [pure virtual]

This method receives all or part of a snapshot of data to allow calculation of an incremental backup. The snapshot is one that was previously supplied by the data owner. The snapshot data should be read from the location supplied. The snapshot data may be larger than the location supplied in which case the routine will be called repeatedly until all data has been supplied.

Snapshot data will also be supplied as part of a restore operation.

leave
KErrNotSupported if the data owner does not support incremental backups.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being backed up
TDesC8 & aBuffer a pointer to the base of the location from whence data can be copied.
TBool aLastSection ETrue if this is the last section of snapshot data, else EFalse.

RestoreBaseDataSectionL(TDesC8 &, TBool)

void RestoreBaseDataSectionL ( TDesC8 & aBuffer,
TBool aFinished
) [pure virtual]

This method receives a section of base restore data. InitialiseRestoreBaseDataL() will have been called prevously to specify the drive concerned.

Parameters

TDesC8 & aBuffer a pointer to the base of the location whence data can be read.
TBool aFinished ETrue if all data has been returned for this drive, else EFalse.

RestoreComplete(TDriveNumber)

void RestoreComplete ( TDriveNumber aDrive ) [pure virtual]

This method is called when all data to be restored has been supplied.

Parameters

TDriveNumber aDrive the drive being restored.

RestoreIncrementDataSectionL(TDesC8 &, TBool)

void RestoreIncrementDataSectionL ( TDesC8 & aBuffer,
TBool aFinished
) [pure virtual]

This method receives a section of increment restore data. InitialiseRestoreIncrementDataL() will have been called prevously to specify the drive concerned.

Parameters

TDesC8 & aBuffer a pointer to the base of the location whence data can be read.
TBool aFinished ETrue if all data has been returned for this increment, else EFalse.

TerminateMultiStageOperation()

void TerminateMultiStageOperation ( ) [pure virtual]

This method is called if copying of data is terminated prematurely to allow the implementor to tidy up. The same method applies to all types of data and to backup and restore
