■ Incremental backups of DB2 databases
About performing a backup
There are two types of DB2 backups: database logs and archive logs. These two
types of backups can be performed by NetBackup automatically, manually, or by
using the DB2 BACKUP DATABASE command. More information on performing a
backup is available in the system administrator's guide.
See 'Performing a Backup' in the Veritas NetBackup for DB2 System Administrator's
Guide for UNIX.
About DB2 policy backups
You can back up a DB2 policy automatically or manually. The most convenient
way to back up your database is to set up schedules for automatic backups.
About DB2 restore
The procedure for restoring a DB2 database depends on the database involved
and the problems that you have on your system. You can browse the backups
using the db2 list history command or using the NetBackup bplist command
before restoring. More information and a complete description of how to recover
a DB2 database is available in the system administrator's guide.
See the DB2 UDB Administration Guide Data Recovery and High Availability Guide.
About configuring Veritas NetBackup for a DB2 EEE (DPF) environment
Veritas NetBackup can be configured for DB2 in an Extended Edition (EE),
Extended-Enterprise Edition (EEE), or Database Partitioning Feature (DPF)
environment. Two types of DB2 backup policies are required. One is used to backup
the catalog nodes and the other is used to backup all the nodes, including the
catalog node. Detailed information and instructions on configuring DB2 for EEE
is available in the system administrator's guide.
See 'Configuration for a DB2 EEE (DPF) Environment' in the Veritas NetBackup
for DB2 System Administrator's Guide for UNIX.
