Welcome aboard :D

You seem to be new to DSXchange, So when you post something, be specific about what you want. By doing this you are helping us help you.

Now, with what you have posted I am assuming that you want to take backup of datastage code (jobs, routines, etc,.). You can do this using the Datastage Manager client for pre- 8.x versions. For DS 8.x you can use the designer to take the backup of datastage code. Checkout the Datastage Manager guide, This has all the documentation on how you can take backups by exporting the code. If you want to automate your backups, then there is a very good script on Uncle Kim's site http://www.duke-consulting.com/DataStage_Tips.htm

There are many ways indeed.

From Client side,

1. DataStage Manager
2. dscmdexport/dscmdimport - command line utilities

From Server Side, (very rare)

1. Copy System files - whole project backup
2. uvbackup/uvrestore - project/file(s) backup

Always go with Client Side backup process.
