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.

See Adding a NetBackup for DB2 policy.
