Performing an Offline Backup of a DB2 Standby Database

Updated

If you created a standby database by using the DB2 db2inidb command and the database is in a rollforward pending state and you have not applied logs, you must set the sSTANDBYBKUP additional setting to Y so that you can take an offline backup of the standby database.

Note

You cannot perform an offline backup for a HADR standby database if you apply the archive logs and leave the database in rollforward pending state.

Procedure

  1. Enable the offline backup of a standby database

  2. Configure this database on the CommCell Console. The subclient must be an offline subclient.

  3. Run a full backup.
