Hello Damon

You can use a command like this to find out when the backup command is running. 
Then run a query actl with a small delta of time less then the time reported 
and you should see the method used to issue the command. As the backup command 
can be shorted to BA you might have to vary the first query.

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.
