Maintenance Job

The Maintenance job removes resources and associated objects created by IBM Spectrum Protect Plus when a job in a pending state is deleted. The cleanup procedure reclaims space on your storage devices, cleans up your IBM Spectrum Protect Plus catalog, and removes related snapshots.The Maintenance job also removes cataloged data associated with deleted jobs. By default, the Maintenance job runs once a day. The job cannot be deleted.

The Maintenance job only performs cleanup operations once a job in a pending state is deleted. All logs associated with the deleted job are removed from IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, so it is advised to download job logs before the Maintenance job's next run. The job can be stopped and resumed; all pending operations set to occur before the job was stopped will resume upon the next job run.

After deleting a pending job, all associated copy data, including restore points, are deleted. The Maintenance job removes all VM Copies and Primary copies associated with deleted VMware Backup and Restore jobs. Once the Maintenance job completes, data that was copied as part of the backup job cannot be recovered. Any data related to the deleted job will not be recoverable.
