Performing NetBackup for DB2 restores with Snapshot Client methods
Perform NetBackup for DB2 Snapshot Client restores from the DB2 client. The following describes two methods of user-directed restores and restoring from a snapshot backup:
Restore using the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface (user-directed) | Use the NetBackup for DB2 Recovery Wizard to select the files you want to restore and the parameters for the restore. If the backup image was created with Snapshot Client methods, the restore uses Snapshot Client methods. |
Restore using the command line (user-directed) | Use the bpdb2proxy command. You must be the DB2 user to use the bpdb2proxy command. When performing a restore, specify the -restore option with bpdb2proxy. Note: The backup image you restore with bpdb2proxy must be from a Snapshot Client method backup, otherwise, the restore fails. Use the bpdb2proxy command in the following format to restore a DB2 database with a Snapshot Client method: Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpdb2proxy -restore -d dbalias -u user -p password UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdb2proxy -restore -d dbalias -u user -p password |
