Managing multiple image copies

You can make one or more image copies of your Db2 table spaces or index spaces.

All table space and index space image copies are registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY or in the BMCXCOPY table. Index space copies are registered as described in Creating-index-backups and Making-incremental-index-copies. This section provides information to help you manage those copies to better implement your backup and recovery strategies. The discussions include:

  • Using the COPY command to make image copies
  • Registering image copies of table spaces in the Db2 catalog
  • Using multiple image copies in a recovery
  • Using the COPY IMAGECOPY command to make more image copies

The different ways in which BMC AMI Copy might operate for different versions of Db2 are discussed in addition to the differences in operation for the data sharing mode available with Db2.
