About configuring a backup policy for DB2
A backup policy for a database defines the backup criteria for a specific group of one or more clients.
These criteria include the following:
Storage unit and media to use
Policy attributes
Backup schedules
Clients to be backed up
Backup templates or script files to run on the clients
To back up the database environment, define at least one DB2 policy with the appropriate schedules. A configuration can have a single policy that includes all clients, or there can be many policies, some of which include only one client.
