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 backup and metadata files help Veeam Plug-ins 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.
