DB2 Backup & Restore Method

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a source system which is ECC6 running on Windows Server 2008 & DB2 9.7 FP2 database. I want to build or copy the exact system to diffrent office. I have done a fulloffline backup on the server. The target system will be suselinux and same database which is DB9.7FP2.

So i have install a ECC6 system on the target system with same System ID,Hostname as the sourse system. . I am not sure what to do next. Please guide me how to restore the database using the full offline backup that i done on the sourse system.

Basically i am just doing a system copy but using the backup restore method.

Hi All, .i was about to do a backup and restore method for this environment. But after going through the sap note below i believed it cant be done . So now i required to do a system export /import to bring it over to linux environment.

Note 628156 - DB6: Cross-Platform System Copy using Backup/Restore

However thanks everyone for the reply.appreciate it.
