DB2 Online Backup Command
There are different ways to take backup in DB2, but one common method is to use the “db2 backup” command. Here’s an example of how to take a full online backup of a DB2 database using the “db2 backup” command:
Open a terminal and connect to the DB2 database:
$db2 connect to mydatabase user myusername using mypassword
To take a full online backup, use the following command:
$db2 backup db mydatabase online to /path/to/backup/directory
Replace “mydatabase” with the name of the database you want to backup
Replace “/path/to/backup/directory” with the directory where you want to save the backup files.
To verify that the backup was successful, you can use the “db2ckbkp” command to check the backup image:
