Hi all,

I have the following problem:

Our customer X is using DB2 Express-C 9.5 on Windows Server 2003 (1
year of work without any problem)
Switching to a new server (Windows Server 2008 - 64 bit), apparently
db2 works correctly.
When we do an offline backup (nightly backup) , db2 generates
correctly the backup file.

But...when we try to restore this backup image, the system breaks with
an error. (backup image is not valid)
Also, if we try to check backup image db2ckbkp the check fails with
error in "header".

My feeling is that this new server (the hardware) have serious
problems with hard disks.

But...i want to know if there is a db2 backup script that make backup
AND checks if the backup image is correct so that the user can make
every day a check on his backups.

Sorry for bad english

JH

You are taking a 32 bit win db2 offline (doesnt matter) backup image
and restore to 64 bit server ? You can easily check this problem by
trying to restore that image back to the original server ( perhaps
redirect to different db to not overwrite existing ).
If that goes ok, you'd know the problem is with your backup is
incompatible with your new server.

I suppose also you run db2ckbkp on new server. Try do that on the
original server.
