So I asked.
I work in a development lab. Backups are automated by the meager scheduling facilities of HSM. That's all the admin I asked offered; I elected not to badger her for more, but she offered that our production shop uses more sophisticated commercial schedulers. What scheduled maintenance should I expect in a development lab? Perhaps scratching tramp data sets? Others?
