Customizing backups with the pre and post commands

Customize backup behavior by running preprocessing and postprocessing commands only once during the client backup, instead of once for each save set.

Preprocessing and postprocessing scripts can be useful if the client is running a database or another program that should be stopped before the client is backed up, and then restarted after the backup has completed.

  1. In the NetWorker Administration window, click Protection.
  2. In the expanded left panel, select Clients.
  3. Right-click the client resource and select Modify Client Properties.
    The Client Properties dialog box appears.
  4. On the Apps & Modules tab, in the Pre command attribute, specify the name of the script file that you require NetWorker to run before a backup.
    NOTE:Do not specify the path to the file.
  5. Optionally, in the Post command attribute, specify the name of the script file that you require NetWorker to run after a backup of all the save sets for the client completes.
    NOTE:Do not specify the path to the file.
  6. Click OK.
The customized instructions are applied the next time that the client is backed up.
