This section provides the steps for setting up the source and target databases.

To set up the source database for offline backup:

  1. Back up the source database, as shown: 
    probkup source-db-name {file name|device name}
  2. Create a structure file. For example: 
    prostrct list source-db-name source-db-name.st
  3. Verify that after-imaging is enabled. If it is not enabled:
    1. Create and edit a structure file (source-db-name_ai.st) to add AI.
    2. Apply source-db-name_ai.st to the source database, as shown: 
      prostrct add source-db-name source-db-name_ai.st
    3. Back up the database, as shown: 
      probkup source-db-name source-db-backup-name
    4. Begin AI, as shown: 
      rfutil source-db-name -C aimage begin
  4. Enable the source database for Replication, as shown: 
    proutil source-db-name -C enableSiteReplication source
  5. Perform an incremental backup, as shown: 
    probkup source-db-name incremental {source-db-incrementalbackup-name | device-name}
