    Backups for e commerce site

    We are looking for a backup solution for our e-commerce site.
    We need to be up 24/7 and currently we are taking a 1 1/2 hour
    outage each weekend for an off-line backup. Are there any
    suggestions for a backup solution that would allow us to minimize
    our outage?

    Thanks

    Could you use split mirror and log shipping:

      Stop using offline backups? You don't need them to recover your
      database, online backups should be fine.

        You need to identify DB2 version number and operating system.

            Consider Blair and Ian's suggestion.
            I would suggest Split/Mirror backup (I/O suspend) first.
            And you also can use Online backup - db2 udb supports both db and
            tablespaces online backup.

              Commerce Sites tend to have considerable static data. The only thing that
              needs to get backed up on a regular basis is the transactional data.
              Therefore place all transactional tables in one or two tablespaces and to a
              TS level backup.
