Best Practices for Copying of Data Between Instances

A customer of mine wishes to create a test instance with the exact same
data and schema as production (1TB EDW). What is common best practice
for this? DB2MOVE? Redirected Restore? Load from Cursor?

Thanks!

If it's the same OS and db2 version, why not attempt a backup from
production and restore on test?

Somebody correct me if I am wrong!!

You will need a redirected restore though, as the container directory
for test will have to be different than production.

Yes ... the names of the mount points and directories will be different.
So redirected restore would be best?

Redirect Restore is a good way.

But if you can copy same directory of containers to test environment,
then you can recatalog it. I did it and especially when I did not have
the backup software (NBU) on the target system.
