hidden:Database Online Backup

A database online backup can be made during normal HPSS operation
Online backup on test core
  /hpss_src/scripts/db2_fullbackup.ksh -p /db2_backup -t online -b none >>/db2_backup/db2_backup_fullbackup.out
Online DB2 backup on productive core
   /hpss_src/scripts/db2_fullbackup.ksh -p / -t online -b none >>/db2_backup1/db2_fullbackup.out 2>&1

DB2 backup on active core

On the active core server runs every hour a cron job which takes an online DB2 backup:
0 */1 * * * if [ `hostname` == "hpsscr" ] ; then /hpss_src/scripts/db2_fullbackup.ksh -p /db2_backup1 -t online -b none >> /db2_backup1/db2_fullbackup.out 2>&1 ; fi
For a DB2 restore see:
Database Restore exercised on Test Core

DB2 backups are saved on /db2_backup1
DB2 backups are kept on disks 7 days
Every day a TSM backup puts the DB2 backups in TSM
A deleted DB2 backup from local file system remains 60 more days in TSM => we can go back 67 days with a DB2 restore

Notice
It is possible to archive the DB2 backups in TSM if a longer retention time is needed
