Data Backup

Veeam Plug-in for IBM Db2 integrates and uses native IBM Db2 mechanisms to back up data to the Veeam backup repository. With the configured Veeam Plug-in, you can create full, incremental or log backups. For details, see Backup Types.

For each backup operation, Veeam Plug-in automatically creates and stores database backup files. For each of the created backup files, Veeam Plug-in also creates separate metadata files. The metadata files help Veeam Plug-in to store and manage backup data while ensuring that the data is protected, accessible, and can be quickly restored when needed. All backup files created for backup jobs reside in a dedicated job folder in the backup repository. For details, see Backup Files.

To store backups, you can add and configure backup repositories to your Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. For details on supported backup repositories, see Veeam Backup Repositories.
