DR is disaster recovery. Copy is OK...I tar the file and sftp to the server. backup/restore work ok from CLI for me too, but only if backup is done of the original server and resotre is done on the same server. Tring taking backup of server A and restore it to vanilly server B does not. Will that work for anyone? <div>On 10/24/07, Richard Megginson <<a href="mailto:rmeggins@redhat.com">rmeggins@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Linux Admin wrote: > It get really bad: > on new clean server: > Backup from CLI: db2bak > Restore CLI: works OK > then I bring the dir produce by db2bak from the server I am trying to > restore to new box and teh same restore commad fails Then there must be something going wrong with the copy.
