How To Do a Hot Backup for iSeries

How To Do a Hot Backup for iSeries

Below is the shipped backup.sh script. This script can be executed from an iSeries QSH command line, CL script or within the Business Process Script.
By default the backup directory is EBI_HOME/database/backup.
If users want to change the script, it is recommended that they copy the shipped copy. One update would be the target directory, then update the DB_FOLDER_BACKUP variable.
To run the command: Execute backup.sh -online or backup.sh -offline
