Our "day" is slightly different: 8PM Start client backups 4AM - these run as the previous completes Backup Storage Pool (Disk and Tape) DB Backup Vault Lists (coming & going) Delete VolHist Daily TSM report (a health check e-mail) Single process migration for all disk pools & Expiration When expiration completes 2 processes for migration VolHist backup Device config backup Reclaim
8PM Reclaim percent set to 100 Running Expiration and migration at the same time makes both process take a little longer, but the total time is greatly reduced.

I know this has been discussed many times within this group, but I tried to find the exact discussions and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I am sorry for repeating this question. I was just wondering what the "best practice" is for daily admin tasks when using DRM? Here are my thoughts so far, but could you please let me know what your opinions are? Backup client data Backup disk pools to copy pools Backup sequential pools to copy pools Backup the database Complete a database snapshot for offsite purposes Backup volume history Backup devconfig Create DRMPlan Eject copypool tapes from the library and send to the vault Delete volume history for database snapshots Migrate data from the disk storage pools Run reclamations Expire inventory Query volumes to be brought onsite from the vault Also, do you script the whole admin process? I have noticed that many sites create daily scripts to run and use wait=yes so that backups complete before the dbb, etc., so any examples would be appreciated as well.
