Backups During Continuous Operation

To perform a backup while processing continues, specify a physical sequence backup and UPDATE=NO in the command. The UPDATE=NO parameter allows the database to be updated or an update job may start during the backup. You are not blocked from performing an INIT or LOAD function during the backup. Allowing maintenance during a backup can result in backup data that cannot be used without a forward recovery. (See RECOVERY (Rebuild a Database) and the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide for details about recovery.)
