Post-backup command

To specify a command/executable file to be executed after the backup is completed

1. In the Command field, type a command or browse to a batch file.

2. In the Working directory field, specify a path to a directory where the command/batch file will be

executed.

3. In the Arguments field, specify the command execution arguments, if required.

4. If successful execution of the command is critical for your backup strategy, select the Fail the task

if the command execution fails check box. In case the command execution fails, the program will

remove the resulting TIB file and temporary files if possible, and the task will fail.

When the check box is not selected, the command execution result does not affect the task

execution failure or success. You can track the command execution result by exploring the log or

the errors and warnings displayed on the Dashboard.

5. Click Test Command to check if the command is correct.

3.4.1.4. Pre/Post data capture commands

This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems.

The option enables you to define the commands to be automatically executed before and after data

capture (that is, taking the data snapshot) performed by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 at the

beginning of the backup procedure.

The following scheme illustrates when the pre/post data capture commands are executed.

<------------------------------ Backup ---------------------------->

Pre-backup

command

Pre-data

capture

command

Data

capture

Post-data

capture

command

Post-backup

command

If the Volume Shadow Copy Service (p. 110) option is enabled, the commands' execution and the

Microsoft VSS actions will be sequenced as follows:

"Before data capture” commands -> VSS Suspend -> Data capture -> VSS Resume -> "After data

capture" commands.

Using the pre/post data capture commands, you can suspend and resume a database or application

that is not compatible with VSS. As opposed to the Pre/Post commands (p. 105), the pre/post data

capture commands will be executed before and after the data capture process, which takes seconds,

while the entire backup procedure may take much longer, depending on the amount of data to be

backed up. Therefore, the database or application idle time will be minimal.

To specify pre/post data capture commands

1. Enable pre/post data capture commands execution by checking the following options:

o Execute before the data capture

o Execute after the data capture

2. Do any of the following:

o Click Edit to specify a new command or a batch file

1 2 ... 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 ... 403 404
