DB2 Advanced Copy Services (ACS) API

The DB2® Advanced Copy Services (ACS) application programming interface (API) defines a set of functions that the database manager uses to communicate with storage hardware to perform snapshot backup operations. The DB2 ACS API is only supported on Linux and UNIX operating systems.

To perform snapshot backup and restore operations, you need a DB2 ACS API driver for your storage device. For a list of supported storage hardware for the integrated driver, refer to this tech note.
