Select the protocol for dumping database file (Linux DS-Client)
To back up an active Oracle or DB2 database, a copy or “dump” of the database must be made. Use this dialog box to select the method to handle the database dump file.
 
Local File System
(for Oracle or DB2 servers on the DS-Client computer).
The DS-Client will dump the database into the specified path on the local file system (on the DS-Client computer). The DS-Client transmits the files to DS-System.
NFS
(for remote Oracle or DB2 Server)
DS-Client will read the database dump files from the database server through the NFS transmission protocol, then sends them to DS-System.
UNIX-SSH
(for remote Oracle or DB2 Server)
DS-Client will read the database dump files from the database server through the UNIX-SSH transmission protocol, then send them to DS-System.
DS-PIPE
(Oracle only)
DS-PIPE is an alternative to the database dump for Oracle database server backups.
This option does not consume any additional disk space. During backups, the DS-Client reads from the pipe on the source database.
This method is useful if your database is too big to be dumped to a file on either the database server or the DS-Client buffer.
