Is there a corresponding functionality with LiteSpeed for the following T-SQL commands?
backup database dbname to disk = 'NUL'
backup log dbname to disk = 'NUL'
The native T-SQL backup commands offer the ability to direct backups to " disk = 'NUL'. When this is done, no writing of the backup takes place. The backups are directed to the bit bucket (or device /dev/null in UNIX systems). The process finishes much more quickly than it would if the backup was actually being written to disk. This is extremely useful when there is a need to quickly free space within an out of control log file, or when working with staging systems that will never need to be restored to the current point in time.
