Can we take a backup of a pregrown empty db? Below are the steps are I tried but couldn't achieve what I want.
1. Created an empty DB (Type II Storage Area with ~70 areas)
2. Applied DF
3. Binary load of 963 tables
4. Ran Index Build (now DB size is 1.5 TB - .dn files are grown)
5. procopy empty8 on the newly created db
I can copy these .dn files to the new location and run the 'prostrct builddb' to get the pregrown db structure set before a binary load but not able to achieve this using a probkup.
I tried 2 different methods but ended up invain;
1. I tried doing a probkup after step 5 but only empty db got backed up and not with the pregrown data extents
2. I tried loading the DF after step 5 so that the structure will be in place and thought may be probkup will backup the empty pregrown extents but it didn't
Is there a way to achieve this using probkup? Or should I be depending only on OS Copy and prostruct builddb to achieve this?
