Backup Central

I have looked with no luck, does any know where I can see examples of TSM daily jobs written in Windows batch? We prefer to run our scheduled jobs through an enterprise scheduler and all of the batch stuff I have is for AIX and I have not done Windows batch in a long time.

Just a suggestion:
I think you'll get a lot more function, flexibility, and help if you wrap it in perl.
Active perl for Windows is free, open source, and safe - doesn't install a single .dll file.
I started writing perl for batch TSM tasks because all I have to do is change / to \ and I can run it on either platform.

I suggest you use Windows Powershell - It is much more flexible than Batch files.

Your Windows Team might balk at having to install Perl on every Windows server if it is a large environment. Although you could use the old command scripting, if you are starting from scratch anyway, I would suggest going forward in Powershell for Windows.

Dating myself, but Regina Rexx is another option. Very Small (~1MB exe), stable, flexible and very transportable across OS platforms.

+1;

Powershell is not hideous, and will certainly trip fewer alarms in the
mind of your average Windows type. The PERL ecosystem of modules is
decades more complete, but most of that will be irrelevant for TSM
scripting.

[...] I can run it on either platform.

We play both kinds: Country _and_ Western.

I have not done any Power Shell programming, I escaped Windows before that was introduced.
An example would still help, I only have about a week to get this server up and running.

Andy,

What would you have this "daily" backup job do exactly? e.g. backup of specific drives or files, image backups, reporting requirements?

My two cents

Install cygwin and run your AIX scripts pretty much as they are. I used
to use UWIN for this but there were a couple of maintenance upgrades
that were buggy.
