I've written a script that takes the class, client and schedule name 
     as three parameters, and the calls bpbackup. Control-M calls this, 
     with the appropriate parameters for each job (I know nothing about 
     Control-M - I just fill in a form to request the jobs be set up).
     
     In fact it's pretty much the same as with any scheduling tool - I 
     tested everything with cron before using Control-M. I've also got a 
     script to do catalogue backups (using bpbackupdb and bpsyncinfo) and 
     this is scheduled using Control-M.
     
     As for class configuration, set up the schedules with blank time 
     fields. This way the backup only starts when manually initiated (by 
     the Control-M job). You still need the schedules to set up things like 
     retention periods, and whether to run full or incremental backups.

     Is anyone using Control M to kick off their backups? If so how does it 
     work. Do you still need to create schedules in your class etc..
     
     Thanks
