Hello All!

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. Thank
you in advance!
