General backup options
You can set options on the General Backup Options panel that apply to all supported backup utilities.
Those options are listed alphabetically in the following table along with the corresponding BMC AMI Recovery Manager defaults.
Option | BMC AMI Recovery Manager default | Description |
|---|---|---|
Copy All Indexes | NO | Copies all indexes for the table spaces that are included in the object set using the BMC AMI Copy INDEXES(YES) syntax This option is ignored if the index is ineligible for backup or the required version of BMC AMI Copy is not available. |
Copy Index Spaces | NO | Yes—back up eligible index spaces. No—do not back up index spaces. Auto—back up eligible indexes as large or larger than the size specified by the Index size threshold option. (BMC AMI Copy version 6.3.00 or later is required to use AUTO.) Backs up eligible index spaces, as follows: Index spaces are eligible for backup if made using one of the following utilities:

Copy utility | BMC AMI Recovery Manager only: DSNUTILB (IBM Db2 COPY) Recovery Management: BMC AMI Copy | Specifies the backup utility to be used at the subsystem or object set level, as follows:
|
Index size threshold | None | Specifies the size threshold at which indexes are backed up rather than rebuilt. This option is used in conjunction with Copy Index Space Auto. Enter the size as follows:
|
Output types: LP LB RP RB | YES NO NO NO | Specifies the types of image copies to be made for the spaces in the object set, as follows:
You cannot make a backup copy unless you make a corresponding primary copy. |
Quiesce After | NO | Establishes a quiesce point for each space in the object set immediately after the copy process completes. |
Quiesce Before | NO | Establishes a quiesce point for each table space in the object set before the copy process starts. |
Quiesce Object Set | NO | Requests a common quiesce point for all table spaces within the current object set. |
QUIESCE WRITE | YES | Instructs Db2 to finish writing any pending transactions for the target spaces before applying the quiesce. |
Region Size | 4 MB | Specifies the amount of virtual storage used by the copy utility. The default value is 4 MB. The valid range is -1 through 2047 MB. A value of -1 specifies that BMC AMI Recovery Manager will not generate region size at the step level. |
Scope | None | Indicates the scope of the copy operation for the specified objects. This field is only displayed when working with Db2 Version 10 or later.
