在Windows上计划脱机db2数据库备份

Question

I only have access to the command line processor and I would like to set up a backup policy to do an offline backup once a day of a db2 database.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

To do a single offline backup I know the code is

BACKUP DATABASE <database> TO <“drive/location”> <params>

However I can not figure out how to schedule this

Answer 1

If you are using LUW, you can:

• In Windows, create a task in the Taks Schedule with the backup command. - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/schedule-task#1TC=windows-7
• In linux, put the command in the crontab of a user with the privileges to execute the backup. Remember to load the db2 instance profile.
• You can configure automatic backups in any OS - http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v10r5/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.rtn.doc/doc/r0052291.html

Answer 2

If you are using Windows OS, then you create a new task and on the action tab:

Action: Start a program

Program/script: "D:\\Program Files\\IBM\\SQLLIB\\BIN\\db2cmd.exe" (path there the db2cmd.exe is located)

Add arguments (optional): / c /w /i db2 backup database DBNAME to X:\\Backup COMPRESS WITHOUT PROMPTING

Start in (optional): blank

The command above will backup database DBNAME to X:\\Backup folder compressing the DB.
