Performing a DB2 MultiNode Incremental Backup

You can perform an incremental backup when the database is online or offline.

For more information on incremental backups, see Incremental Backups.

Before You Begin

For DB2 pureScale backups, share the following directories on all the pureScale nodes:

• sDB2_ARCHIVE_PATH

• sDB2_AUDIT_ERROR_PATH

• sDB2_RETRIEVE_PATH

You can view the directory path from the /etc/CommVaultRegistry/Galaxy/Instance001/Db2Agent/.properties file.

3. On the Backup Options for Subclient dialog box, select the backup type and job initiation:

   1. In the Backup Type section, select Incremental.

      Note: If you selected Schedule, set up the schedule.
