Veritas NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Example application backup schedule

Specify the application backup schedule name in the db2.conf file on the client. The db2.conf file is located in the following directory path:

Windows: install_path\NetBackup\dbext\db2\db2.conf

UNIX: $DB2_Instance_Home/db2.conf

Assume the following:

  • Users perform database backup operations during business hours, 08:00 to 13:00.

  • The automatic backups that use this policy start between 18:00 and 22:00.

In this scenario, the application backup schedule must have a start time of 0800 and a duration of 14 hours. Alternatively, the schedule can have two windows each day; one with a start time of 0800 and duration of 5 hours, and another with a start time of 1800 and a duration of 4 hours.
