The above settings are not effective for the files or folders that were explicitly selected for backup. For example,

assume that you selected the folder MyFolder and the file MyFile.tmp outside that folder, and selected to skip

all .tmp files. In this case, all .tmp files in the folder MyFolder will be skipped during the backup process, but the

file MyFile.tmp will not be skipped.

3.4.1.3 Pre/Post commands

This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and PE-based bootable media.

The option enables you to define the commands to be automatically executed before and after the

backup procedure.

The following scheme illustrates when pre/post commands are executed.

Pre-backup

command

Backup Post-backup

command

Examples of how you can use the pre/post commands:

 delete some temporary files from the disk before starting backup

 configure a third-party antivirus product to be started each time before the backup starts

 copy an archive to another location after the backup ends.

The program does not support interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user input (for

example, "pause").

To specify pre/post commands

1. Enable pre/post commands execution by checking the following options:

 Execute before the backup

 Execute after the backup
