If you use export/import Loader commands to export the entire application and/or database catalog data, you can use backup tools from other providers.
Connecting Backup Tools from Other Providers
The backup tool for the Loader session is determined using the loader command SET BACKUPTOOL.
You start to export and import the data directly from the Loader.
· Export: The Loader implicitly creates the pipes for transferring the backup data during transport. They must not be available beforehand. Enter TAPE as the media type.
· Import: Specify the external backup ID (TAPE <ebid_spec>) as the medium type.
