How do I transfer my DB2 database from linux server to Win 2000 server ? I want to retain the data as well.
Can I use the backup of my Linux server & restore the backup to Win 2000 server ?



 
Have a look at the db2look command, that may just be what your'e after.

Can I just use the Backup of my database on Linux server & then restore or create the database on WIn 2000 server using that backup ?
 
The question is "Why would you want to ?"

The answer to your query is the db2move command (look it up in the manual).

You cannot restore a backup from one platform onto another platform (in general). Certain UNIX systems are similar enough that this will work, but between Windows and Linux it won't.
