Database Mirroring on remote site¶

Introduction¶

To mirror production database(s) to remote site, there are a number of approaches:

1. Use (full) database backup
2. Use (full + incremental) database backup
3. Use (full + delta) database backup
4. Use (full + incremental + delta) database backup - not recommended because it is too complex
5. Use (full database backup + transaction logs)

the approach 1-4 are described in Using DB2 incremental backup

The following sections will describe how the last approach actually works. Before that, let's do a compare:
