export data from tables out of a backup image

Introduce a new parameter to the export utility to be able to export data from a table that is in a backup image.
This functionality is especially useful for data extraction without touching/impacting the source system

    Good idea! Until now it works only using high Performance unload, but why not integrate into Export Utility. It would be a big additional value for Db2 if we could use this out of the box.

Restore at table level

Merged
Mainly on auditing needs when you have to get some information from the past or when you need to recover just one table only its nowadays you have to do a complete restore. Would be good to have this feature.
