Sandra, You really have jumped in at the deep end haven't you? DB2, Oracle, offsite all at once. There is no need to shy away from DB2. Its interface is reasonably straightforward, and there is a redbook to tell you exactly how to set it up.
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246247.html?Open Regards Steve >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/11/2004 5:39:28 >>> Dear All, Since we don't have any DB2 Administrator therefore I am not going into taking online backups of DB2. The application that is using DB2 taking DB2 backups by first shutting doen the database and then taking backups using DB2 commands and then starting the database. They keep this backedup database with them on tapes and then rotation of tapes start. Now I am going to automate only this backedup database by taking incremental backups only. Question: For Database "A", what folders should I exclude so that I get all the configuration of DB2 and then restoring database from those backups. Do I have to shutdown DB2 before I take incremental backups of entire WINNT machine????? How about open file support on NT since there is no wizard to configure open file support, and not even an option to select for image etc.????? Please advise and Help !
