The nzbackup and nzrestore commands with the Tivoli Storage Manager connector

Deployment options: Netezza Performance Server for Cloud Pak for Data System

After you successfully configure the client (the Netezza host) and the server (the Tivoli® Storage Manager server) for the backup and restore connections, you can run the nzbackup and nzrestore commands and specify options for the Tivoli Storage Manager connector.

For example, the following sample command backs up the Netezza Performance Server database by using Tivoli Storage Manager:

export DATASTORE_SERVER=TSM_Server
export DATASTORE_POLICY=Policy_Domain_Name
nzbackup -db myDb -connector tivoli -connectorArgs "TSM_PASSWD=password"

In the command, the Tivoli Storage Manager server password is passed as a connector argument. The TSM_PASSWD is the client password as defined in step 7 of the Registering a Netezza Performance Server client on a Tivoli Storage Manager server.

For example, the following sample command restores the Netezza Performance Server database by using Tivoli Storage Manager:

export DATASTORE_SERVER=TSM_Server
export DATASTORE_POLICY=Policy_Domain_Name
nzrestore -db myDb -connector tivoli -connectorArgs "TSM_PASSWD=password"

For parameters that can be used with the nzbackup command and the available -connector options, see Command syntax for nzbackup.
