Veritas NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Using bpdbsbdb2 to run a user-directed backup

The bpdbsbdb2 command runs a backup template that is created by the NetBackup for DB2 Backup Wizard. At the command prompt, issue bpdbsbdb2 in the following format:

# bpdbsbdb2 -backup -r -t template_name -i instance_name

Where -r runs a template, -t identifies the template, and -i identifies the instance to use.

For example:

# bpdbsbdb2 -backup -r -t DB2_Mon_full.tpl -i DB2INST

bpdbsbdb2 retrieves backup templates from a predetermined location on the master server, so you only need to specify the template file name.
