Hi,

I'm restoring backup images from one OS ( 32-bit) to another ( 64-bit) and am using the compression library on the target OS to perform the restore...

I was able to successfully restore from the full backup image with this command ---


db2 restore db dbname from /DATA/backup taken at 20110501050002 logtarget /home/db2inst1/logs/ REPLACE EXISTING COMPRLIB /home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib/libdb2compr.so


But when I try to restore from an incremental, it fails... any idea why?


db2 restore db dbname incremental automatic from /DATA/backup taken at 20110602050003 logtarget /home/db2inst1/logs REPLACE EXISTING COMPRLIB /home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib/libdb2compr.so
SQL2570N A database cannot be restored on a platform that does not match the
platform on which the backup image was created.

I suspect that, since you chose automatic restore, the subordinate restore commands may be issued with the default compression library, which may not work. Try doing a manual restore, specifying the correct library each time.

thanks! will try that out..

"Incremental images and images only capturing differences from the time of the previous capture (called a "delta image") cannot be restored when there is a difference in operating systems or word size (32-bit or 64-bit)."
