Interface IBackup

public interface IBackup

Objects that implement this interface indicate that they are business objects that can be backed up. An IBackup instance does not strictly correspond to a particular business object. In fact, more than one type of IBackup instance could correspond to a business object. However, every IBackup instance is uniquely identifiable through the getId() method and associated with the unique business object through the getBusinessObjectId() method.
