DB_BACKUP for a full database backup starting at 7 a.m. every morning.

The option "active=yes" must be entered if you want the schedule to run. The
default is no. The update schedule command can be used at a later point in time to
enable or disable the schedule. The query schedule command provides
information about schedules. If you do not include "type=admin" it will, by default,
print information about client schedules.
We have assembled a series of administrative schedules to help you set up a
Tivoli Storage Manager environment that will minimize user intervention while
providing a high level of data availability.
The first step in setting up administrative schedules is knowing which commands
to run. Table 12-1 shows our recommendations for commands that should be
scheduled and where to find more information about them. The table also
includes our estimates on various other factors based on a typical
implementation.
Client schedules are not, of course, administrative, but they are included to
emphasize that all scheduling in your environment should be based on your
client schedules. The table has a recommended set of schedules with all of the
specifics required to execute in your environment if you follow the
recommendations made in this book.
