ABSTRACT:Schedule Automatic Backups.
   An automatic backup is either a periodic backup or a queued backup.
   A periodic backup is a backup job to be executed more than once at
   specified dates and times.
   A queued backup is a backup job to be executed once at a later time. 

    In both cases the 'schedule' menu allows you to
   - Add new backup jobs to the list of automatic backups.
   - Display the list of automatic backups.
   - Change the backup parameters or the time for a job from the list of
     automatic backups.
   - Remove one or more of the automatic backup jobs.

   When an automatic backup is executed, the result is mailed to the
   backup requester.

   The list of periodic backups contains one line for each job to be
   performed periodically. Each line includes the execution time displayed
   as minute - hour(s) - month(s) - day(s) of the month - weekday(s)
   and how the dump(8) utility will be called, including parameters as:
   backuplevel - flags - backup target - volume name
   where 'flags' are
   u - log of date and level
   n - operator notify
   r - rewind
   v - verify
   l - autoload
   s - tape length
   c - tape capacity
   b - blocksize
   d - density
   f - backup target

   The list of queued backups contains one line for each job to be
   performed queued. Each line includes the execution time displayed
   as minute - hour(s) - month(s) - day(s) of the month - weekday(s)
   and how the dump(8) utility will be called, including parameters as:

   where 'flags' are
   u - log of date and level
   n - operator notify

   l - autoload
   s - tape length
   c - tape capacity
   b - blocksize

   This menu allowed you to
   - add entries to the list of periodic backups
   - display a list of the periodic backups
   - modify a job in the list of periodic backups
   - remove one or more job(s) from the list of periodic backups.

   The list of periodic backups contains one line for each job to be
   performed periodically. Each line includes the execution time displayed

   - add entries to the list of queued backups
   - display a list of the queued backups
   - modify a job in the list of queued backups
   - remove one or more job(s) from the list of queued backups.

   The list of queued backups contains one line for each job to be
   performed queued. Each line includes the execution time displayed
   as hour:minute - month - day of the month, or as the time from now,
   and how the dump(8) utility will be called, including parameters as:

   -  label of the volume, e.g. usr.

   The CHOICE key will display a list of volumes containing file systems.
F2:enter the backup level.
