DB backup is normally done using admin schedules. Check with Q SCHED T=A
F=D, you may find an admin sched which runs BACKUP DB command.
Q VOLHIST T=DBB will display the database backup volumes. 
Q DB F=D will indicate when the last backup of DB was taken and how much
of DB was changes since the last backup.

Subject: [ADSM-L] how to tell how my DB is being backed up



I am wondering if anyone can tell me if there is an easy way to tell how
my
DB is being backed up.  I can tell that I am keeping 4 copies of it but
I
don't know how it's being backed up.   I'm sure it's being done via a
script but I can't find out where it's at.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
