Before and After Commands

You can register additional commands to run before- or after any backup job. For maximum flexibility, commands can be registered

• for a Protected Item (e.g. to dump a database), or
• for a Storage Vault (e.g. to perform custom network authentication), or
• for a Schedule (e.g. to shut down the computer afterward).

During a backup job, the commands are run in this order:

1. Schedule Before
2. Protected Item Before
3. Storage Vault Before
4. Backup Job
5. Storage Vault After
6. Protected Item After
7. Schedule After

Shell built-ins can be used as part of the command execution - the specified command is passed to either cmd.exe or /bin/sh as appropriate for your operating system.
