Details:

The stjob command is used to add, remove, change, copy, rename and list backup jobs
configured on the Administrator system.

To list currently configured jobs, use the –l option. By default, only Job Ids are shown. To
show all of the details of a job, use the –v flag also. This will display a paragraph of
information for each configured job showing all options configured.

If you want to configure a new job, use the –a option and specify the Job ID at the end of the
command. You will be required to specify a backup profile using the –p flag. If no list of data to
backup is provided in the profile, then you must also specify the –bdatalist” option. All other
options will be written with a default value. After adding a job, be sure to list it with the –vl
options to display the full list of settings.

To copy a configured backup job use the –n flag, and to rename a configured backup job use
the –N flag. You will need to specify the new jobid to be copied/renamed to as an argument to
each flag. Note that when you copy or rename a backup job, any changes to the backup
options that are specified on the command line will only be applied to the new jobid.

Certain options, if not specified, will default to a value contained in the backup profile. Those
include the backup description (--desc) and data list (--datalist) flags.

NOTE: Be careful to use quotes around any argument to flags which contain multiple words.

Specifying the data list

If using TSM Edition, only System Backups are supported.
