Setting up the source and target databases

This section provides the steps for setting up the source and target databases.

To set up the source database for offline backup:

1. Back up the source database, as shown:

probkup source-db-name {file name|device name}

2. Create a structure file. For example:

prostrct list source-db-name source-db-name.st

3. Verify that after-imaging is enabled. If it is not enabled:

a. Create and edit a structure file (source-db-name_ai.st) to add AI.

b. Apply source-db-name_ai.st to the source database, as shown:

prostrct add source-db-name source-db-name_ai.st

c. Back up the database, as shown:

probkup source-db-name source-db-backup-name

d. Begin AI, as shown:

rfutil source-db-name -C aimage begin

4. Enable the source database for Replication, as shown:

proutil source-db-name -C enableSiteReplication source

5. Perform an incremental backup, as shown:

probkup source-db-name incremental {source-db-incrementalbackup-name | device-name}
