ADIC 3.5 manual BFS cron job

System Administrator’s Guide to Installing DataMgr

• Nightly at 1 a.m.: Runs the

	/etc/dm/usr/scripts/clean_emasslogs script to
	move the current set of logs to a file in the same directory
	with the same name, but appended with a timestamp. For
	more information, see “Edit cron File” on page 3-10 . The
	clean_emasslogs script also saves seven old log files per log
	type plus the current log.
BFS cron job	On the BFS, the crontab performs the following jobs:
	• Nightly at 2 a.m.: Runs the
	/etc/bfs/usr/utils/bfsmaint -m -d utility, which
	automatically replicates files (that are assigned to the File
	Replication Policy) or automatically migrates files (that are
	assigned to the Multi-tier Migration Policy). It also manages
	the retention and expiration of migrated files. For more
	information, see “Back Up Databases” on page 3-6 , or refer
	to the Utility Reference chapter in System Administrator’s
	Guide to Using DataMgr.
	• Nightly at 4 a.m.: Runs the
	/etc/bfs/usr/utils/bfsdb_backup utility, which
	backs up the BFS Database. Normally a full backup is
	performed on Saturday morning and a partial backup is
	performed every other morning.
	For more information, see “Assign a Backup Volume” on
	page 3-7. For more information, refer to the Utility
	Reference chapter in System Administrator’s Guide to
	Using DataMgr.
