Automating cmsadm backups

[sk1053]

Has anyone automated cmsadm backups on a Sun Solaris Server? We have one drive for daily ACD backups but I was thinking of addign a second driver and trying to get the CMSADM to run automatically but I'm not sure if this is possible.

Sure you can automate anything on a unix server. Look for info on cron, or crontab on the Internet. You have to write a shell script that will do the backup and then have cron execute the script nightly.

Good luck,

Part of the 'cmsadm' command closes the CMS database (in pre V11) so that it can be backed-up and re-opens it at the conclusion of the backup. If you execute a csmadm backup and login from a different terminal you can use 'ps -eaf' to list all of the active processes. You could 'grep' cmsadm to discover the actual process detail.
