Before you back up or restore DB2 databases, you must run the Remote Agent Utility to configure the DB2 Agent.
The information that you configure for an instance applies to all of the databases that are contained in that instance.
Whenever DB2 instance information changes, you must update the Remote Agent Utility. If credential information is not updated or is incorrect, the error “Unable to attach to a resource…” may appear when you run a backup job.
