Modifying ControlCenter database backup time
Is there a place to change the settings to the time ControlCenter backs up the database? I wish to have the database backup earlier than 2:00 am. Is 2:00 am set in stone due to the WLA collector, or am I just grasping at empty air?

Hi,
To change the Hot Backup time in EMC ControlCenter, do the following (Do not run these scripts via Terminal Services (Remote Desktop)):
From the command prompt, change to the following directory: %%\ECC\Repository\admin\Ramb_scripts on the Repository host.
From this directory, run the following: ramb_change_job.bat [OPTIONS] [TIME] [INTERVAL]
If you want to change hotbackup, type hotbackup for options,
TIME format should be: 1-24 For example: 1 for 1 am... 12 for 12 pm, 13 for 1 pm etc.
Interval format should be: daily, weekly, monthly
OPTIONS and INTERVAL value should be lowercase
Usage example: ramb_change_job.bat hotbackup 3 daily
Where the number (3) represents the time you wish the hotbackup to run (for example, 3 for 3 am).
To verify that the hot backup time has successfully been changed, do the following:
Navigate to \ECC\Repository\admin\Ramb_scripts
Run the ramb_jobstatus.bat script. This script will generate a file called ramb_jobstatus.log.
Open the log in a text editor. Find the hotbackup line and confirm the newly set time.

Conor,
Many thanks, that did help. My next question is can you modify the minutes of the hour, or just set it per hour? I only ask this because my log file shows tasks as scheduled off the hour, i.e. 18:06:10, 19:05:52, etc.
