DB2 Backup into 3590 tape drives

Hi everyone,

I am running DB2 8.2 under SuSE SLES9 (zSeries).
My current problem is when trying to make a direct backup to tape.

- I can make a DB2 backup to a filesystem and it works fine. (e.g.
backup into /tmp/test)
- And I can also tar the created file into a 3590 tape drive and it
works fine too. (e.g. tar into /dev/rtibm0 )

- What I cannot do is to directly backup my database (DB2 BACKUP
command) directly into a 3590 tape. It keeps giving several errors:

- Either the tape device is full (which is not, it is empty and
rewound).
- Or I have to mount /dev/btibm0 device into somewhere else (that I
don't need to do when I tar any file into it).

Help, please !!

Jose R. Baron

Hi, I have scheduled backup job on MS SQL server which appends full backup, verifies it and then it should eject tape. But upon finishing it says that job failed. I checked backup and it seems okay, database was backup-ed on tape and tape was ejected at the end of execution but job status was failed. Here is a code of backup procedure created with "backup database" option.

I wish to create a user that can backup any or all databases in our SQL Server 2000 Instance. I thought there would be a server role for this function, however I can only find that after I grant access of a database to the user, then I can choose ds_backupoperator. I want to create a user that will have the ability to backup all the databases. I dont wish to have to come back to the server after a new table is created and add the backup...

I do weekly full backups of my SQL databases via a scheduled T-SQL job. I noticed that I have some static databases that dont normally change, so I dont want to back it up if it has not changed, but when it does, then I want a backup. Is there something in the master table, as example, that I can check prior to running the backup that will indicate any changes? An example is the Northwind database. I could exclude it from the backup, but...

I just brought a new small server online. It has two disks in RAID1 (mirrored) for the operating system and logs and DB2 DBMS. DB2 data on a separate RAID 5EE array on four disks.

Want to backup the database separately, and then everything else. Now that DB2 has a backup utility that...

I am a little confused by DB2 Backup and Export. I used "db2 backup db QAS to /dev/rmt0" backuping 650GB database to a IBM LTO 3581 (1 drive) only 11 hours. But I used "db2 export to /dev/rmt0 of ixf messages MKPF.msg select * from mkpf" on the same 3581, and this table is only 5GB, but the export used 4 hours. What's the diffirent between Backup and Export? I mean except backup is used to backup whole database or tablespace, and export...

I have no experience with DB2 as such, but I've been tasked with configuring backup of a server running DB2 v8 on Windows Server 2003. I do have some experience with backups in general though. The backup software I'll be using is Backup Exec 10, but Backup Exec doesn't have a specific agent for DB2, as it does for SQL and Oracle. The supplier of Backup Exec claims I can use the Open File option of Backup Exec to backup DB2. I find this a...

It is possible that we may be asked to restore a production tape, say 3 yrs later. We would prefer redirect restore for that. I am documenting a process to do a redirect restore. We take production backups via Legato. The big question is that how to get information about tablespace and containers from the tape backup. A search on this told me that db2ckbkp is the command to go for. I tested it on a backup residing on unix file system...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
