Performing NetBackup for DB2 backups with Snapshot Client methods
After configuration is complete, performing NetBackup for DB2 with Snapshot Client backups and restores is similar to conventional NetBackup for DB2 operations. The following sections describe some of the differences.
NetBackup for DB2 performs backups with Snapshot Client in the following ways:
User-directed, by template creation and execution on the client
User-directed, from the command line or the script as a DB2 user (with the bpdb2proxy command)
Server-directed, from an automatic schedule on the master server
All of these methods require a DB2 policy with Snapshot Client configuration.
