How could i go about setting up a script to backup a directore (/dbms) to
another harddrive automatically everynight at a certain time. I have AIX

Create your script the read "man cron". That's what you need.

Look into rsync for remote synchronization
and cron for scheduling.

My system doesn't have rsync. Should it??? Is that the best command to use
? Is it something I can install for instance an RPM that will work with
Aix?

Thanks
