Yes, this works fine, as long as you are restoring on the same platform
(i.e. V7 single-platform restrictions still apply).

RESTORE will automatically migrate the database.

Not a problem : it just works (automatically upgrades your database to V8 as
part of the restore process) !!!

Yes, you can restore a v72 backup image to v8.1. The only gotya, is that
the backup must be offline, as you cannot rollforward through any log files.

My test showed that to take a backup of a database in a 32-bit DB2 7.2
instance and restore it to to a DB2 8.1 32-bit instance worked fine,
as it is documented that it should; but to take a backup of a database
in 32-bit DB2 7.2 instance and restore it a DB2 8.1 64-bit instance
failed.

Hi , I'm wondering what's going on with a restore I'm trying to do . My DB2 version is a 7.2 on a Linux RH ES 2.1 . I've copy a recent backup that was on NAS for a test on my machine . I then restore the backup without creating a database with the simple command line "db2 restore backup DBNAME".

hi. i need to restore an old database. The db was backed up using a DLT drive, using 2 volumes. The content for the tapes was copied to file onto Solaris machine using rsh and dd (for backup purposes). Now, the drive is defective and can't read the tapes anymore. Server is AIX 4.3.2 and database is IBM DB2 Server (DB2 for AIX Version 2.1.2)

Hi There, We have an issue on our db2 restores. We do database dumps every night, and restore them to development servers every morning. This works fine with no errors. However if we backup those images to tape using Veritas netbackup, and then restore those images and try to restore them to the database, we get "The backup image is corrupt". If we run db2ckbkp against that image we get "Unable to decompress image from different platform"....
