If you are following the steps in this chapter, the DBBACKUPTRIGGER will already start database backups as needed. However, we also recommend that you run a full database backup on a regular basis (at the least, daily). If you make a number of database configuration changes, such as we did earlier in this chapter, you should run a backup immediately afterwards. You should not rely solely on the DBBACKUPTRIGGER to produce your regular backups. The DBBACKUPTRIGGER is a safeguard to stop your recovery log from filling up. You will also see how to back up the database at least once every night as a scheduled operation in Chapter 12, "Scheduling" on page 371. Use the backup db command to back up a Tivoli Storage Manager database to sequential access storage volumes. You can use backup db to run one of the following types of backup: Full backup (TYPE=FULL): Backs up the entire Tivoli Storage Manager database. Example 5-18 shows how to perform a full backup operation. Incremental backup (TYPE=INCREMENTAL): Backs up only those database pages that have been added or changed since the last time the database was backed up. DBSnapshot (TYPE=DBSNAPSHOT): Specifies that you want to run a full snapshot database backup. The entire contents of the database are copied and a new snapshot database backup is created without interrupting the existing full and incremental backup series for the database. Example 5-19 shows how to perform a snapshot backup operation. Example 5-18 Creating a full database backup tsm: ATLANTIC>backup db type=full devclass=lto2-dc wait=yes ANR0984I Process 14 for DATABASE BACKUP started in the FOREGROUND at 11:33:54. ANR2280I Full database backup started as process 14. ANR4554I Backed up 960 of 2001 database pages. ANR4554I Backed up 1920 of 2001 database pages. ANR4550I Full database backup (process 14) complete, 2001 pages copied. ANR0985I Process 14 for DATABASE BACKUP running in the FOREGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 11:34:30. Example 5-19 Creating a database snapshot tsm: ATLANTIC>backup db type=dbsnapshot devclass=lto2-dc wait=yes ANR0984I Process 15 for DATABASE BACKUP started in the FOREGROUND at 11:39:31. ANR2287I Snapshot database backup started as process 15. ANR4554I Backed up 960 of 2002 database pages. ANR4554I Backed up 1920 of 2002 database pages. Chapter 5. Database and recovery log 211
