Yes. Look for the commands in the Control Center documentation, available at docs.zenoss.com.

What version of Zenoss are you running?  For Zenoss 4.2.5, I have a little script in cron that runs the zenbackup utility. Something like:

# Source the zenoss environment
. ~zenoss/.bashrc

# Zenoss parameters
tempdir='/tmp'
backupLog="/$ZENHOME/log/zenbackup.log"
echo `date` > $backupLog 2>&1

#
# Do the backup
# to omit eventsdb add --no-eventsdb
# to omit zodb add --no-zodb
# to omit perf databases add --no-perfdata
#
$ZENHOME/bin/zenbackup --temp-dir=$tempdir --mibs --libexec -v 10 >> $backupLog 2>&1

Cheers,
Jane
