As storage environments have experienced rapid growth, so has the importance of data management and storage. The increasing size and number of DB2 applications brings to the forefront the need for a storage management solution that protects important corporate assets while keeping the application running and available. The DB2 Universal Database application module for NetVault increases application availability by providing fast, online backups of DB2 databases.

The DB2 Application Plugin Module (APM) provides increased application availability via fast, online backup of DB2 databases in UNIX, Linux, and Windows NT environments. The APM includes a wide variety of important features such as hot backup, support for multiple database servers on a single machine, a variety of backup operations and selectable backup options.

Online Mode: With the NetVault DB2 APM, user databases remain online and fully accessible during backup operations, minimizing downtime for users.

Offline Mode: Access to the database is in exclusive mode; only the NetVault backup job itself can be connected to the database.

Support for Multi-homing: The DB2 APM displays all available servers, even when multiple database servers are operating on one machine. Backup and restore operations can be performed on any or all available DB2 servers.

Selectable Database Backup Operations: The DB2 APM allows you to backup tablespaces and offline archived log files.
