> Table 6–5: Utilities used with roll-forward recovery
> Utility command | Function
> --- | ---
> BUSY | Verifies that the database is not in use. The database cannot be in use when you perform a full offline backup.
> PROBKUP or operating system utility | Backs up the database. You must perform a full backup of the database before you can use roll-forward recovery.
> RFUTIL MARK BACKEDUP | Marks the database as backed up. If you do not use PROBKUP to back up the database, you must mark the database as backed up to begin after-imaging or start a new after-image file.
> RFUTIL AIMAGE NEW | Starts a new AI file. After you back up the database and AI files, you can truncate the existing AI file.
> RFUTIL AIMAGE END | Disables after-imaging. Before you run a batch job, you might want to disable after-imaging to improve performance.
> RFUTIL ROLL FORWARD RETRY | Restarts the roll-forward operation. Use of this qualifier is limited to RFUTIL roll-forward operations that fail because of power outages or system failures.
