As part of your overall data protection planning, plan restore operations for your DB2 MultiNode database.
For more information about planning your restore operations, see Restore Backup Data.
Restore Objectives
Your objective for restoring data determines the process that you must follow and the restore destination.
Restore data from a range of time
You can browse and restore data data that is from a range of time. Typically, you restore this data to an out-of-place destination.
Restore to a point in time
If your database becomes corrupted or otherwise invalid, you can restore the database to a point in time before the database became unusable. Typically, you restore this data to an in-place destination.
Restore Destinations
The destination where you restore your data is determined by your restore objective. Generally, you perform an in-place or an out-of-place restore.
In-place restore
When you restore a database in place, you restore it to the same path on the same client from which the database was backed up.
Out-of-place restore
When you restore a database out of place, you can restore it to any one of the following destinations:
-
A different client from which the database was backed up
-
A different path on the same client from which the database was backed up
-
A different database on the same client from which the database was backed up
-
A different instance on the same client from which the database was backed up
