Backup, restore and check history that I often use. Login using DB2 user.
Interactively backup database and logs:
db2 backup database <dbname> online to </filesystem> include logs
To submit into background job:
nohup db2 backup database <dbname> online to </filesystem> include logs &
To restore, you can use:
db2 restore database RP1 from </filesystem> taken at <yyyymmddhhmmss> or for background job: nohup db2 restore database RP1 from </filesystem> taken at <yyyymmddhhmmss> &
To check backup/restore process:
db2top and then press u or db2 list utilities show detail
To find out the history of backup activities by:
db2 list history backup since <yyyymmdd> for <dbname>
