Zero Downtime Backup of MaxDB Database With HP Data Protector

Overview

At the moment, there is no official DP-MaxDB interface to perform Zero Downtime Backup (ZDB) and Instant Recovery for Data Protector versions 5.5, 6.0, as well as 6.1. However, it is possible to perform ZDB using a scripted solution. This white paper provides the procedure on how to ZDB a MaxDB instance and potentially restore it to any point in time or to the latest point in time.
