Creating a backup template using the NetBackup for DB2 backup wizard
The following procedure shows you how to browse the DB2 environment from the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on the NetBackup for DB2 client. You can use the interface to select database objects for backup. Then it shows how to access the backup wizard to create the backup template. Before you create a template on the master server the client must exist in a policy or in the NetBackup image catalog.
Note:
The Backup, Archive, and Restore interface only displays local or resident partitions. Any templates that are created on the local client do not back up partitions on remote hosts. Create additional templates for the other remote partitions by running the wizard on those clients. To back up the entire EEE/DPF configuration, specify multiple templates in the policy backup selections list.
