Backup question

[bjverzal]

On a DB2 backup to disk, I am told there is a limitation of 2GB on each individual filesystem. For example:

db2 backup database database_name to /fs01,/fs02 . . .

Is there a limitation of 2GB each on /fs01 and /fs02 ?

Currently I have over 100 /fs?? filesystems, each one 2GB in size. I'd like to create less BIGGER ones versus more SMALLER ones. Will DB2 use the space if it is bigger than 2GB ?

Can anyone point me to documentation ?

Thanks, Bill.

Hi there!
I work on DB2 UDB for AIX and I had the same senario. My database was almost 100GB of size.
I created two filesystems on AIX (large file enabled - up to 64GB) and I changed the file size limit that is specified for my user (/etc/security/limits).
Then i backed up my database i.e
backup db dbname to /dir1, /dir2

Hope this helps!
