UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi, am able to run manual backup on a client by going to /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin and running dsmc incr command.
am running incremental backup.
my question was
1) suppose i want to run automated backup , should i put it in crontab and how to do that?
should i open crontab using crontab -e and add a line(say if i want to run backup at 5:30am everyday) should i add the following

30 5 * * * /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc incr

plz let me know.

thank u everyone

Well, you have that line right... the backup will run at 5:30 in the morning, every morning, and always use crontab -e to update crontab files.

Thank you!
