About user-directed backups
When you run a template, NetBackup for DB2 processes database partitions sequentially in the order that is listed in the template summary. All tablespaces that reside in the same partition are processed together.
For example, tablespace T1 resides in partition P1, and tablespaces T2 and T3 reside in partition P2. The processing order is as follows:
Process tablespace T1 in partition P1
Process tablespaces T2 and T3 in partition P2
You can run a user-directed backup in the following ways:
Using the DB2 template administration interface
Using the bpdbsbdb2 command
Using DB2
A failure in processing a request immediately stops template execution. The error condition must be resolved before the template can be re-run. Except where noted, all DB2 warnings are treated as DB2 errors; they cause template execution to fail.
If the template option is selected, the system issues the DB2 QUIESCE command before it performs the backup or restore.
Users must have sufficient DB2 permissions to browse DB2 databases and perform backup, restore, and roll-forward operations. The user account must have SYSADM, SYSCTRL, or SYSMAINT privileges for DB2.
