schedule backups

How can I schedule backups of a database? I’d like to have every night a backup of my Tamino database.
Did not found this in the manuals. Is there a way to doing it?

I just wrote a shell script:

#!/usr/bin/sh

CLASSPATH=
export CLASSPATH
SHLIB_PATH=
export SHLIB_PATH
. /usr/local/SAG/sagenv

# repeat next line for every database
argbatch backup database database=prd1


Then I used cron to schedule this script to run every night. My server runs Solaris; I?m assuming you could set up something similar on Windows.

thanks curtis,
but is there no functionality provided by tamino for doing this?

I don?t know of any scheduling functionality in Tamino. As far as I know, it only responds to requests.
