I have a backup image with name
DADOSADV.0.DB2.NODE0000.CATN0000.20060812230006.00 1 and I want to
restore it on Windows (in another server).
In Windows Server I created this folder structure:
D:\DADOSADV.0\db2\NODE0000\CATN0000\20060812\
and rename the backup image file to 230006.001
When I type (Prompt DOS) > db2ckbkp -H 230006.001 and I receive this
result

QUESTIONS:
It´s possible restore a linux backup at another system? Windows
Plataform?
What I have to do?
I´d tryed many possibles but nothing work!!!
Can anybody help me???


Thanks a lot.

No, you cannot restore a backup from linux to windows. They are not
binarily compatible. You can restore Windows to Windows, Linux to
Linux and Unix to Unix. To go crossplatform you have to use db2move or
the like.

Things have improved in V9 compared to V8. As long as the endianess between
the backup-platform and the restore-platform is the same, you can restore
the backup image - except for Windows. Thus, moving backups between Linux
and the various Unix platforms is not an issue any longer:

It looks like it only helps with Linux on zSeries and Linux on Power PC
being compatible with UNIX. DB2 backups on all other Linux platforms are
still incompatible with DB2 UNIX backups.

It's the endianess that matters. I don't know about the PC-version of
Solaris and if DB2 is supported on that platform. If it is, I'd think that
you can move Linux little-endian backups to such an environment.
