Defining an SLA Backup Job
Once your Db2® databases are listed for each of your Db2 instances, select and apply an SLA to start protecting your data.
To ensure that you have the correct filesystem permissions for moving Db2 data between servers, the user and group IDs for all Db2 users must be consistent across all the servers. In general, to avoid copy errors, do not run Db2 inventory tasks when backup jobs are running.
To define an SLA backup job:
- From the navigation menu, expand Manage Protection, then expand Applications. Expand Db2, then click Backup.
- Select the Db2 instance to back up all the data in that instance, or select individual databases in the Db2 instance that you want to back up.
- Click Select SLA Policy and choose an SLA Policy. Save your choice.
- Predefined choices are Gold, Silver, and Bronze, each with different frequencies and retention rates. Gold is the most frequent with the shortest retention rate. You can also create a custom SLA policy by navigating to Policy Overview > Add SLA Policy.
- Click Select Options to define options for your backup, such as enabling log backups for future recovery options, and specifying the parallel streams to reduce the time that is taken to back up large databases. Save your changes.
- If you want to run the policy outside of the scheduled job, select the instance or database. Click the Actions button and select Start. The status changes to Running for your chosen SLA and you can follow the progress of the job in the log shown.
