What's new in DB2 V10.5: High availability, backup, logging, resiliency, and recovery enhancements

HADR is now supported in a DB2 pureScale environment
DB2® pureScale® environments now support DB2 high availability disaster recovery (HADR). This enhancement combines the continuous availability of the DB2 pureScale Feature with the robust disaster recovery capabilities of HADR.

DB2 Advanced Copy Services (ACS) scripted interface makes using customer scripts easier
Starting in Version 10.5, custom scripts that implement snapshot backups and restores interface better with DB2, reducing user error and improving monitoring and management of snapshot operations.

DB2 Cancun Release: Incremental backups are now supported in DB2 pureScale environments
In DB2 Cancun Release 10.5.0.4 and later fix packs, you can perform incremental and incremental delta backups in a DB2 pureScale environment. Previously, you could perform only full database and table-space-level backup and recovery operations.
