Operating Systems AIX Question about restoring from mksysb backup Post 302228095 by bakunin on Friday 22nd of August 2008 06:41:38 PM

An mksysb is basically a backup of the rootvg along with a boot image and some installation software to be able to boot from it and do an installation of the system backed up that way.

This means: if the db2 update changed the binaries of db2 and all these binaries were stored in filesystems located in the rootvg then, yes, restoring the mksysb will restore the old version along with the old version information - version information is also data stored in the rootvgs filesystems.

I hope this helps.
