NetVault®: Backup Application Data Protection

APM for DB2

IBM DB2 provides a hybrid data server for customers with demanding workloads. With DB2’s deep compression and new XML support, customers can minimize the time and effort it takes to use their XML data thereby reducing development costs and improving business agility. To protect business-critical data stored in DB2 hybrid data servers while data is online and available, NetVault: Backup APM for DB2 provides a simple and powerful data protection solution that increases DB2 administrator’s confidence and reduces risk when deploying DB2.

Reduce Risk with Flexible Backup and Recovery Options

NetVault: Backup APM for DB2 ensures that databases remain online and fully accessible during backup operations, assuring no user downtime. Users can implement a backup policy that is flexible enough to account for a large number of recovery scenarios without the need to understand DB2 database internals. In addition to providing options for full, incremental, and delta database backups, the APM is designed for granular recoveries allowing users to restore complete databases, individual tablespaces or individual archive logs up to the current time or the last backup. Restores are faster since the reliance on human interaction is reduced and the chance of syntax errors that would require a restart is eliminated to further reduce downtime.

Maximize IT Staff Efficiency

NetVault: Backup’s ability to manage distributed storage resources across multiple databases, allows IT professionals to focus on business critical tasks rather than repetitive and manual backup operations. Routine administrative options can be performed by less experienced personnel thereby empowering administrators to create comprehensive backup policies without the need to understand DB2 internals. NetVault: Backup APM for DB2 uses an automated workflow and complete point-and-click options for tasks such as job scheduling and restores.

Ensure Enterprise-Class Business Continuity

With offsite backups being an important part of the data protection plan for business critical applications, NetVault: Backup APM for DB2 takes advantage of NetVault: Backup’s integration with a wide range of backup devices. NetVault: Backup offers the flexibility to store backup’s on the most popular backup devices. You can store the backup online in a virtual tape library and duplicate the job to physical tape libraries shared by multiple DB2 databases, other proprietary databases, or even general backup files.
