About NetBackup for DB2 shell scripts

To perform a scheduled NetBackup for DB2 backup, you must create a shell script. The shell script controls the backup job on the NetBackup for DB2 client. You add this shell script to the Backup selections list in the NetBackup for DB2 policy on the primary server. You can also use the shell script to manually start a backup on the client.

The following describes shell scripts.

Shell scripts

Sample backup and recovery shell scripts are installed on the client with the NetBackup for DB2 agent. Modify these scripts to meet your individual requirements.

Shell scripts the user writes must conform to DB2 syntax. On UNIX, they must conform to the UNIX shell syntax.

Note:

Be aware of what may happen if an automatic schedule invokes a script that a user authored. NetBackup does not provide safeguards to prevent an automatic backup schedule from running a restore or a recovery script.
