Pre/Post data capture commands
This option is effective for Windows 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 Server OEM at
the beginning of the backup procedure.
The following scheme illustrates when the pre/post data capture commands are executed.

If the Volume Shadow Copy Service (p. 36) option is enabled, the commands' execution and the
Microsoft VSS actions will be sequenced as follows:

capture" commands.
