Automatic backup (scheduling)

In order to be able to use the time-controlled automatic backup, it is necessary to request this on the request form so that the backup administrator can enter the desired time for starting the backup in the backup server.

During installation, the necessary links are also set and the startup script for the scheduler is copied to the appropriate location so that the scheduler is started when the computer is booted. It is started with:

/etc/init.d/tsm start

Important

Before you start this script, it is necessary that you have contacted the backup server once and entered the password, see: Configuration --> Contact the server.
This scheduling process must always be started for automatic backups. It can be terminated via:

/etc/init.d/tsm stop

It should always be stopped if changes are to be made to the options in the dsm.sys, dsm.opt or include-exclude files. Afterwards it must of course be restarted.
