Your current backup strategy is to run COPY SHRLEVEL CHANGE for all your table spaces each
night. You create FULL image copies once a week and INCREMENTAL copies during the rest of
the days. After migrating to DB2 10, you plan to create the FULL image copies using
FLASHCOPY YES and COPYDDN, that is you create a flash copy image copy (FCIC) and
additionally a sequential copy. What happens to the incremental copies that you continue to create
on all other days?

A.
If DSNZPARM FLASHCOPY_COPY is set to YES, the incremental copies will automatically be
incremental FLASHCOPY copies.

B.
Nothing special. The only difference is that the FULL copy, which is the basis for the
subsequent incremental copies has now been generated
from the FCIC.

C.
The COPY utilities with FULL NO option will not run. If there are entries in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY
that indicate that FCICs exist for a give page set,
INCREMENTAL copies cannot be taken anymore.

D.
The first image copy utility execution after the FULL FCIC and sequential copy created from the
FCIC will end up as FULL copy although you
specify the FULL NO statement on the COPY utility control statement.
