Veritas NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Script parameters

The NetBackup for DB2 templates and scripts read parameters from the environment when they perform backup and restore operations.

The parameters can come from the following sources:

  • Environment variables

  • UNIX: NetBackup bp.conf

  • NetBackup db2.conf

Parameters from these sources can be evaluated within the scripts. For example, the DB2_POLICY value is the name of the policy that is used to perform the backup.
