wait for my house to look like something from the Flinstones,
and am making sure that all of my disaster recovery ducks
are in a row, I though maybe someone could use my linux-based
script that backs up DB2 configuration data, which I call
"lifeboat".
Just put your own info anywhere you see UPPERCASE text in
<> brackets. I store everything in /db2/lifeboat/...
As a final step, the script scp's the config info to another
server for safekeeping. I run this on a cron - if you do,
don't forget to ssh-keygen to generate your SSH public key.
This, combined with your standard DB2 backups all stored in
a safe place, should make it far easier to recover from
disaster.
