Daily Backup via DB Scheduler

Applications that embed the database as part of their solution have challenging requirements regarding the data server:

• a customizable, small footprint
• a hardware gentle architecture
• rock-solid reliability
• flexible high availability options
• extremely low administration overhead
• smoothly backward application compatibility
• excellent performance

If you look at each of those requirements it becomes clear why IBM favors IDS as the data server of choice for integrated solutions. The new database scheduler introduced in IDS V11 offers extensive possibilities to automate routine tasks. Probably one of the most important DBA routine tasks is the regular backup of the data server.
