  • 1.  Using Db2uBackup I can't get a compressed backup

    Posted Tue April 08, 2025 11:17 AM

    Hi,
    creating a Db2uBackup resource on OpenShift with "compress: true" (link):

    apiVersion: db2ubnr.databases.ibm.com/v1alpha1
    kind: Db2uBackup
    metadata:
    name: db2ubackup-mas-maslab-maslabws-manage
      namespace: db2u
    spec:
      databaseBackup:
        backupTarget:
          vendor: disk
        dbName: BLUDB
        type: offline
        compress: true
    db2uName: mas-maslab-maslabws-manage

    results in this command being executed:

    2025-04-08 14:38:02.948866 Backup process started....
    2025-04-08 14:38:02.948911  INFO: /bin/sh -c "db2 'backup db BLUDB on all dbpartitionnums  to /mnt/backup/BLUDB/db2ubackup-mas-maslab-maslabws-manage/backup_off_1'"

    Why compression option is not used? (so the result backup file is not compressed)

    Any hint about on to fix it?

    Hi Diego. Yes, the compress option is available from the CR but currently undocumented since the feature is not available yet. Currently, if you want a compressed backup you would have to take it manually from the engine pod.

    Thanks a lot for the info! I'll wait for the next version when this feature is released.
