With the Data Restore feature, there are additional possibilities to manage the backup and recovery process.
The different possibilities explained are:
Control Center (formerly known as SQL Master) is a feature of DB2 Server for VSE & VM version 7. As a DB2 feature, it supports the use of Data Restore feature in a VM environment. With this support, you can explore the new Data Restore feature functions which facilitate database maintenance for the administrator.
Control Center, can help you automate the process for taking archives. Control Center can schedule an automated archive at predefined times or when certain conditions are met.
Control Center also has some interfaces that let you take non-DB2 archives or initiate backups using other user or vendor written programs, for example VMBACKUP or VMTAPE.
For a complete example of Control Center using Data Restore TRANSLATE function, refer to Using the TRANSLATE Function.
For a detailed description of archive and/or backup automation refer to DB2 for VM Control Center Operations Guide.
