Release Notes


|13.5 Incremental Backup and Recovery - Additional Information

|During the second phase of processing, the database history is queried to |build a chain of backup images required to perform the requested restore |operation. If, for some reason, this is not possible, and DB2 is unable |to build a complete chain of required images, the restore operation |terminates, and an error message is returned. In this case, an |automatic incremental restore will not be possible, and you will have issue |the RESTORE DATABASE command with the INCREMENTAL ABORT option. This |will cleanup any remaining resources so that you can proceed with a manual |incremental restore.

|During the third phase of processing, DB2 will restore each of the |remaining backup images in the generated chain. If an error occurs |during this phase, you will have to issue the RESTORE DATABASE command with |the INCREMENTAL ABORT option to cleanup any remaining resources. You |will then have to determine if the error can be resolved before you re-issue |the RESTORE command or attempt the manual incremental restore |again.
