Administrative commands

You can use commands to administer IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot.

Administrative commands are available for you to do the following tasks:

Start, stop, or configure IBM Storage Protect Snapshot.
Mount or unmount a snapshot backup on a secondary system.
Create a backup to IBM Storage Protect from a snapshot if you have IBM Storage Protect configured in your environment

To use the commands to automate operations for IBM Storage Protect Snapshot, add entries to the cron table (crontab) file. Because there are so many ways to implement IBM Storage Protect Snapshot software, there are no templates. To automate operations, either specify the commands in the crontab file, or create scripts and add the scripts to the crontab file.
