RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF 1.10)

1. Stop your applications. It is also recommended that you stop TMF too because this guarantees
that no unexpected updates can touch the database, but it is not a requirement if you are
certain you have stopped all update activity to the affected volume.
2. Make a copy of the tables or files.
3. Restart TMF on the primary system if you stopped it in Step 1.
4. If you stopped TMF in Step 1, then wait for RDF to stop in response. Alternatively, if you only
stopped your applications, then issue the STOP RDF, DRAIN command, wait for RDF to stop,
and wait for the purger to log the RDF event 852.
5. Copy the tables or files to the appropriate volume on the backup system.
6. Restart RDF and your applications.
