Veritas NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Example: multiple sessions for a DB2 snapshot backup

The following NetBackup for DB2 sample command initiates a snapshot backup on node 0:

bpdb2proxy -backup -d sample -u db2user -p password -s 3 -n 0

The agent groups the database files into three streams and initiates a file-based backup for each stream. After the backup is done, DB2 starts a conventional backup of the transaction logs using either the user-exit or vendor method.

Issue this command on each node of the database.

Note:

If the policy used by the backup is not configured for Snapshot Client, the backup fails.
