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. YMMV

Subject: [ADSM-L] order of admin tasks
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!
