Restoring a DB2 Backup to the Same Host

To restore a database, you must deactivate it. When you deactivate the database, all the DB2 non-administrative users are disconnected. The system automatically activates the database after the restore operation. After the restore operation, connect the non-administrative users.

When the database is corrupted or lost, you can restore and recover it from the latest offline or online full backup (depending on how the subclient was configured for backup operations).

By default, the database is restored to the same location from where it was backed up. After you restore the database, it is recovered to the current time.
