Basic information

When disaster recovery is necessary, you can use BMC AMI Recovery Manager to prepare for and perform a disaster recovery using image copies and Db2 archive logs to build and restore Db2 system resources at the recovery site.

BMC AMI Recovery Manager enables you to automatically back up and verify recoverability of all recovery resources, and then generates the most efficient jobs possible to make recovery at the recovery site straightforward and fast. To recover successfully, you must regularly back up your Db2 objects and the Db2 logs. Only local site data that is already dispatched to the recovery site can be used in the recovery.

If you are mirroring some or all of your resources, BMC AMI Recovery Manager enables you to perform recoveries that automatically use the mirrored resources to the best advantage. For more information, see Hardware mirroring support. If you are using BMC AMI Recovery Manager as part of the Recovery Management for Db2 solution, see the Recovery Management for Db2 documentation

If you are using BMC AMI Recovery Manager as part of the Recovery Management for Db2 solution, you can also use simulation and estimation for disaster recovery scenarios for both the system resources and your applications. The recovery simulation feature simulates all aspects of recovery up to, but not including, the actual I/O. Disaster recovery simulation can be useful in reducing your disaster recovery testing costs. See Recovery-simulation. The estimation feature provides estimates of recovery time and can track previous run times and other history information from past simulations, estimates, and actual recoveries. You can then use this information to work on improving recovery times. For more information, see the Recovery Management for Db2 documentation
