Using the NetBackup for DB2 recovery wizard
NetBackup for DB2 includes a recovery wizard that solicits information from the user about the desired DB2 restore and recover operations. The wizard uses the information to create a template that can be used immediately or saved for later use.
The NetBackup for DB2 recovery wizard saves a recovery template locally in a user-specified location on the NetBackup client. Recovery templates are not stored on the server because recovery is always user directed, not scheduled. Under typical circumstances, a recovery template is run immediately and then deleted.
The recovery process sometimes requires passwords for DB2 database access and system user accounts. Templates store encrypted passwords that are decrypted at runtime.
Because recovery can be a complex process, it might be necessary to perform manual steps as part of the operation. For more information, see your DB2 documentation.
