Pre/Post commands

This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and PE-based bootable media.

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

backup procedure.

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

Pre-backup

command

Backup Post-backup

command

Examples of how you can use the pre/post commands:

 delete some temporary files from the disk before starting backup

 configure a third-party antivirus product to be started each time before the backup starts

 copy an archive to another location after the backup ends.

The program does not support interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user input (for

example, "pause").

To specify pre/post commands

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

 Execute before the backup

 Execute after the backup

2. Do any of the following:

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

 Select the existing command or the batch file from the drop-down list

3. Click OK.

Pre-backup command

To specify a command/batch file to be executed before the backup process starts

interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user input (for example, "pause".)

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’s execution arguments, if required.

4. Depending on the result you want to obtain, select the appropriate options as described in the

table below.
