Backup/Cleanup Task

Configure your CA View initialization parameters for automatic scheduling of the CA View Backup/Cleanup task. This task can be configured for scheduling by: day of the week, time of day, and interval (frequency).

Business Value:

The Backup/Cleanup Task helps to ensure accurate and timely scheduled backup and cleanup of data. This greatly reduces the amount of manual time and effort required to maintain database, and keeps associated DASD costs at a minimum.

Additional Considerations:

Backup

The backup task creates copies of your CA View data that can be used for restore in case of database problems. The following initialization parameters control when the backup task is run: TBACKUP, TIME, DAYS, and INTERVAL.

Backup tape types

You can configure your CA View initialization parameters to create up to three different types of backup tapes: Primary, Duplex, and DR (Disaster Recovery) tapes.

See the “Backing Up and Recovering the Database” chapter in the CA View Reference Guide.
