About using Veritas NetBackup for backup and restore
for DB2
With Veritas NetBackup, you can perform high performance, online (hot) backups
of databases that must be available on a 24x7 basis. NetBackup supports the
Extended Edition (EE) and the Enterprise Extended Edition (EEE) environments.
NetBackup also supports DPF for DB2 8.1 and higher.
Veritas NetBackup lets you back up and restore database files and directories.
You can set up schedules for automatic, unattended database backup, as well as
full or incremental backup. These backups are managed entirely by the NetBackup
server. You can also manually back up database files from any of the NetBackup
clients. Client users can perform database backups and restores from their client
systems on demand. The topics below summarize NetBackup's backup and restore
capabilities for DB2. More information on backup and restore procedures and
supported EE and EEE versions is available in the system administrator's guide.
