I will be restoring a database on a new server. When I issue the restore command on the new server will I have to include the history file option in order to sync up log numbers?

What OS and DB2 version? Was it an online or offline backup?

Andy

OS = AIX 4.3.3
DB = 7.1

It is an online backup

The answer is No. Your restore command will look something like:

RESTORE DB <backedup db name> from <dir where image is> taken at <timestamp of backup image (should be part of name)> into <new DB name> replace existing (if the new DB exists) redirect (if you want to change the tablespace configuration) without prompting

Note: if you are doing a REDIRECTed restore, please read the command reference manual on how to do this.

Then copy the logs to the log directory of the new database, then issue
a ROLLFORWARD command.
