Prerequisite

Connecting External Backup Tools

The external backup tool for the loader session is determined using the loader command SET BACKUPTOOL.

Procedure

You start to unload and load the data directly from the Loader.

·        Unloading data: the Loader creates the pipes for unloading the backup data implicitly as part of the unload. These pipes must not exist before the unload. Enter TAPE as the media type.

·        Loading data: specify the external backup ID (TAPE <ebid_spec>) as the medium type.
