Backing up databases

After you load reports into Content Manager OnDemand, IBM® recommends that you create a backup copy of the Content Manager OnDemand database. When you backup the Content Manager OnDemand database, you protect control information and index data that Content Manager OnDemand and the database manager need to support the system. Also, if you maintain Db2® archived log files on disk, then after the backup completes, the database manager can reclaim the disk space used by the log files.

Utilities provided with Db2 must be used to take backups of the database tables. See the appropriate Db2 reference material for information about Db2 table maintenance; also see your installation's database administrator.
