New Schedule
Summary
TSM maintains backup schedules on the server. These schedules are independant of any given node, and must be associated with the nodes to which they apply in a separate step detailed elsewhere
This document discusses creating a schedule for running an incremental backup at 8:00 PM every day. We'll name this schedule 'MY-SCHED'.
For this procedure, the following definitions apply:
- MY-DOM
-
Your policy domain. For most local admins, there is only one.
- MY-SCHED
-
The name of the schedule you intend to define. We suggest that you name this in a way that indicates both its association with your domain, and the purpose of the schedule.
- 20:00
-
The time you wish the schedule to begin backup operations. This should be expressed in 24-hour time, with a colon between hour and minute.
- SERVER
-
The TSM Server instance you are planning to use. For most local admins, the server in question is 'ext'. See the system structure document if you're unsure.
