A scheduled backup starts the backup operation automatically instead of manually.
A Tivoli® Storage Manager schedule or crontab (UNIX or Linux) command are examples of those schedules that can be used to automatically run the snapshot disk backups on the production system. Any other suitable scheduler can also be employed.
The SAP DBA Planning Calendar (either transaction DB13 or DBACOCKPIT) can be used to schedule backups with Tivoli Storage FlashCopy® Manager when the SAP® BR*Tools profile (init<DBSID>.sap) is set up correctly.
