The context was replicate as in copy. I was importing a .dmp, and he asked why it took so long, when you could use this dbmove utility and it was very fast. He's from Russia, and his English is a bit broken, so sometimes there are things lost in translation.

I find it hard to believe that you could import a 4GB DB2 database in 'just a few minutes'.
