DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Managing snapshot backup objects

You must use the db2acsutil command to manage snapshot backup objects. Do not move or delete snapshot backup objects using file system utilities.

Before you begin

To perform snapshot backup and restore operations, you need one of two things:
  • A DB2® ACS API driver for your storage device. For a list of supported storage hardware for the integrated driver, refer to this tech note.
  • For storage devices that are not supported, implement a custom script that allows your storage device to perform snapshot operations.

Restrictions

The db2acsutil command is currently only supported on AIX® and Linux.
