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

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



Execute before the backup



Execute after the backup

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

Click

Pre-backup command

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

In the

Working directory

field, specify a path to a directory where the command/batch file will

be executed.

In the

field specify the command’s execution arguments, if required.
