Damn!  It's gotta be better than that (he muses).  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?

Thanks for motivating me toward enlightenment,
gil
