IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Creating a maintenance script

You can create a predefined or a custom maintenance script. Either kind can help you protect your data by running maintenance commands on a schedule.

Custom maintenance script: The custom maintenance script is either created using the maintenance script editor or is converted using a predefined script. The script editor is designed for experienced Tivoli® Storage Manager users who require more flexibility when constructing maintenance scripts.
Predefined maintenance script: The predefined maintenance script is created using a wizard.

You must schedule the maintenance script to run. The script typically includes commands to back up, copy, and delete data. You can automate your server maintenance by creating a maintenance script, and running it when your server is not in heavy use.
