About the sequence of a NetBackup for DB2 backup operation with Snapshot Client methods

For a backup operation, the NetBackup for DB2 agent performs the following tasks in the order shown:

  • Determines the list of files that make up the DB2 database.

  • Suspends write activity to the data files (quiesces the database).

  • Uses the Snapshot Client method to create a snapshot image of the mapped files.

  • Enables DB2 write activity (unquiesces the database).

  • Backs up the snapshot image of the data files.
