Details:

The stprofile command is used to add, remove, change and list backup profiles. It may also
be used to customize a default profile for use with a particular job. In that case, the customized
profile options will be used in place of the default profile only for the specified job (no other
jobs using the default profile will be affected).

If creating a customized profile for a job, specify the –j jobid value, where jobid is the Job ID of
a job that was already configured. In this case, you do not specify a profile name. The profile
type that is currently associated with the backup job will be used. Any options that you do not
change will be taken from the original profile. Those specified will override the values of the
original profile. The original profile, and any other jobs that use the original profile, will be
unaffected when creating a customized job profile.

The –t type flag is required when creating a new profile. See the table below for a list of types
and their description.
