3.3.2.1 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

data recovery.

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

 launch the Checkdisk command in order to find and fix logical file system errors, physical

errors or bad sectors to be started before the recovery starts or after the recovery ends.

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

example, "pause".)

A post-recovery command will not be executed if the recovery proceeds with reboot.

To specify pre/post commands

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

 Execute before the recovery

 Execute after the recovery

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-recovery command

To specify a command/batch file to be executed before the recovery process starts

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.
