Specifying the server
1. Browse and select the server you want to back up. Use the hostname or IP address of the target DB2 Server to back up.
It can be on a different subnet.
This hostname or IP address must be the same as the one used in the DB2 catalog command.
By default, your current user login to the DS-Client will be used to connect to the selected computer.
2. If you need to specify alternate credentials, select Ask for Network Credentials, and click Next.
The option Ask for database credentials is selected by default.
Ask for Network Credentials | Enter a valid user name and password for the selected computer. • The Network Credentials must also be valid for the Network Protocol you select to dump the database file. • The Network Credentials you specify must have "read" and “write” privileges for the dump path you select. |
Ask for Database Credentials | (Mandatory) Enter a valid user name and password for the database server. |
If you select Ask for Network Credentials, the Enter Network Credentials screen appears.
3. (If applicable) In the Enter Network Credentials screen, enter a valid user name and password for the selected computer, and click OK.
The Network Credentials must also be valid for the Network Protocol you select to dump the database file.
The Network Credentials you specify must have "read" and “write” privileges for the dump path you select.

• User Name: Enter a valid database user name on the DB2 database server you want to back up.
• Password: Enter the corresponding password.
