IntelliSnap backups for any client are always full backups.
Note
If a subclient for DB2 MultiNode IntelliSnap backup contains both the data and logs, the log backup is initiated with a separate job ID.
During the data aging process, this may lead to pruning the data backup before a log backup if both the jobs are marked as FULL, so the log backup would be marked as incremental even though the entire set of logs available in the Commvault log archive directory are backed up. The log backups are marked as incremental only to make the data and log backups part of the same cycle.
By default, you can perform an online backup. You can also perform a full backup of an offline database.
The job history for a DB2 IntelliSnap job displays the size of the involved LUNs as the application size. After a backup copy job of the IntelliSnap data, the snap backup job changes the application size that is displayed to be the size of the actual database. Consequently, the license report and the job details in the job history display different sizes before and after the backup copy job.
