Use the Pre/Post Process tab to add, modify or view Pre-processes and Post-processes for the selected subclient or Replication Set. Note that all the options described in this help may not be available and only the options displayed in the dialog box are applicable to the agent or enabler for which the information is being displayed.
Pre Backup/Scan/Migrate/Archive/Copy/Snap/Recovery Point process
Displays the name/path of the process that you want to run before the respective phase. You can use this space to enter a process that will execute before this phase on the subclient or Replication Set, or you can use the Browse button to search for and select the name/path of the process. The system allows the use of spaces in the name/path, provided they begin with an opening quotation mark and end with a closing quotation mark.
Note
If you are using the Linux File System agent to back up VMware virtual machines, you must create a PreBackup process script that will allow the system to create the required REDO files. For information, see Create Pre and Post Backup Process Scripts to Back Up Virtual Machines Using the Linux File System Agent.
Post Backup/Scan/Migrate/Archive/Copy/Snap/Recovery Point process
Displays the name/path of the process that you want to run after the respective phase. You can use this space to enter a process that will execute after this phase on the subclient or Replication Set, or you can use the Browse button to search for and select the name/path of the process. The system allows the use of spaces in the name/path, provided they begin with an opening quotation mark and end with a closing quotation mark.
Note
If you are using the Linux File System agent to back up VMware virtual machines, you must create a PostBackup process script that will allow the system to post data back to the virtual machines. For information, see Create Pre and Post Backup Process Scripts to Back Up Virtual Machines Using the Linux File System Agent.
