You must specify a backup method for the Data Links Manager to use. Files controlled by the Data Links Manager will be backed up by this method when you perform a database backup. You can choose to backup the database to a local directory or to Tivoli Storage Manager.
If you want to use an XBSA storage manager, you should specify a local directory now, and configure the XBSA server after installation is complete. For more information on configuring Data Links Manager to use an XBSA server, see the Quick Beginnings for DB2 Data Links Manager book.
Specify the values to configure the backup method you want:
The DB2 Setup wizard will create a backup directory on your local computer. When the backup command is entered on the remote DB2 server, all backup files on the file server are verified and copied to this local directory.
It is not recommend that you specify a directory that is NFS mounted. If you do specify a directory that is NFS mounted, you must ensure that any user name with root authority on this file server has read and write access to this mounted directory. The DB2 Data Links Manager Administrator's user name must also exist on the computer from which this directory was NFS mounted and exported.
Type a Directory or select ... to choose the directory you want to use.
All backup files will be copied to the TSM server by the TSM client installed on your computer.
You must configure your TSM client to communicate with the desired storage server. For more information on configuring TSM as a backup method see the DB2 Data Links Manager Administration Guide and Reference.
