  • SnapCenter Creator Plugin (SCC) 6.0 and higher
  • The DB2 Creator Plug-in

Issue

When using the auto-discovered DB2 resource in SnapCenter 6.0 or higher for setting up Protection (Snapshot backups) with a scheduled backup policy,
the backup process creates snapshots for both database files and log files.
 
The log snapshot may not be wanted due to a high turnover, which would grow the snapshots that have the same retention as the database, rapidly.
