Problems with incremental backup UDB 8.1

Hi,
I try to perform an incremental backup of an entire database.
My problem: the option's for incremental backup are disabled.
OS: W2003Srv
UDB: 8.1
Any idea? Are there any parameters, which I have to set first?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

To be able to do incremental backups you need to have enabled the TRACKMOD configuration
parameter.
Second before you can do an incremental backup of a database or table space, you need to
have taken a full backup of the database or table space.

Have these conditions been met?

Hi Bob,
thank you for your reply - TRACKMOD is the solution!

1. First turn on the db cfg trackmod
db2 update db cfg for DBNAME using trackmod on
2. Take a full backup

3. Take incremental backup

HI, I had a question on incremental backup. We had an incremental backup every weekend. We did full backup every other week. That is one week incremental + full , the other week is incremental only. My question is for the first weekend incremental backup, it took for example 1h, but the second weekend incremental took almost 3 hours. It seems always this way, so I suppose it is not related to the data change. And we almost had some...

UDB v8 fp 6a on AIX 5.1.0.0 Below is a manual incremental recover from compressed backup datasets. With external compress backup datasets, can it be coded to do an automatic incremental recover?

Based on MK's TSI_SOON (http://www.trigeminal.com/)I've created a nifty little procedure that - whenever you compact you db you get an incremental backup copy. Given that you have a table with version information you get incremental backups on a per-version basis. SEE CODE BELOW Basic idea is: start TSISOON with the options: 1. "compact this db"

My boss was asking about incremental backups. I was scratching my head, thinking that the transaction log and a backup policy (script) for each record set (sorry about the archaic terminology) was the usual solution. But there is a some resistance against writing more code, so I'm wondering what the current state of affairs with postgresql in regards to incremental backup would be. A quick search of the lists produced the following:

We have recently moved a ClearQuest database to db2 V8 on linux. We take a full compressed backup on sundays (~400Mb) and compressed incremental/incremental delta other weekdays. What puzzles me is that despite low activity in the database, the delta backups are the same size as the full backups. Using db2look I've found that there is a number of tables with BLOBS in them. Would it help to move theses tables to a separate tablespace...
