Hi,
can you please describe what is the problem at first place. Why don't you make a scheduler which makes backups by itself?
Regards,

i want my solaris database copy to be on a windows server. But as there is no compatibility between the backups on different platform, I cant restore the backup taken from solaris to windows. So i thought i would try to take a remote backup from windows to solaris...but i think that also not possible. I tried it.

Hi,
there is no backup/restore compatibility from Solaris to Windows. The only supported way is to have db2lookup to get definitions and db2move to move data.
