Hi,

You can check via cron if backups are scheduled via cron. You can list the contents of cron by crontab -l

Secondly if you are using backup software like HP's dataprotector then you need to check via data protector. Commands vary based on the version of data protector. BTW, what is the backup software are you using?

Hope this helps.

If you're using Tivoli go to SMIT -> IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for System Backup and Recovery -> Backup Schedules and Scripts -> Backup Schedules -> List Backup Schedules

Hai,

Since you are using TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER, check under /var/soe directory.

You will find the scheduler under this directory. It should look something like this /var/soe/r3<sid>/tsm4.1.

But the naming conventions might vary, use this as a hint.

You will need root access to check the directory /var.

Am really sorry Juan

Yes we are using AIX 5L

I think The legato networker team Knows about backup schedule list as they are the team responsible for it

Hi,

For Legato backups, there is a script filed named BACKINT in exe directory

backup schedule will not be visible in DB13

Check under DB14 if it shows anything under backups
