Use this task to back up a data store
Data stores enable messaging engines to preserve operating information and to persist those objects that messaging engines need for recovery in the event of a failure.
To back up this data, refer to the documentation for your chosen database.
Backup can make use of the suspended I/O feature of DB2 if that RDBMS is used as the persistent store. With other databases that do not possess this capability, the backup could present a longer interruption to service, or require that the messaging engine is stopped while the backup is made. If you attempt to back up the data store for a messaging engine that is still running, you might lose or corrupt important data.
