Migration step 6: Back up your Db2 12 volumes (optional)

After you have stopped Db2 12 activity, you can back up your Db2 12 subsystem. This backup provides a recovery base in case one becomes necessary.

Procedure

To back up your subsystem:

Take dumps of the Db2 subsystem data sets. You also can take dumps of the SMP/E data sets and the Db2 distribution and target libraries.
