Pre-data capture command, To specify pre/post data capture commands

Page 35 highlights

Using the pre/post data capture commands, you can suspend and resume a database or application that is not compatible with VSS. As opposed to the Pre/Post commands, the pre/post data capture commands will be executed before and after the data capture process, which takes seconds, while the entire backup procedure may take much longer, depending on the amount of data to be backed up. Therefore, the database or application idle time will be minimal. To specify pre/post data capture commands 1. Enable pre/post data capture commands execution by checking the following options:  Execute before the data capture  Execute after the data capture 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-data capture command To specify a command/batch file to be executed before data capture 1. In the Command field, type a command or browse to a batch file. The program does not support 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. 5. Click Test command to check if the command is correct.

Fail the task if the capture after the command is executed despite execution failure or success. command execution fails. Perform the data capture concurrently with the command and irrespective of the command execution result. Post-data capture command To specify a command/batch file to be executed after data capture 1. In the Command field, type a command or browse to a batch file. The program does not support interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user input (for example, "pause".)
