Avamar Prescript and postscript

Hello,

I have a linux server with Mysql and I need to run a script before the backup starts.

I found examples about prescripts with Windows servers that are not working.

May you know how prescript works for Linux servers ? Is there a specific directory for linux to put those scripts ?

Hello,

I've just finished to implement Linuc clients on Avamar server. I needed to specify post-scripts in the datasets options.

To do that, you may :

definie in the dataset option (advanced options), the name of your pre and post-scripts (not absolute path, only scripts names);
copy, on the client Linux; yopur scripts into /usr/local/avamar/etc/scripts directory ;
dont't forget to chmod your scripts with execution permissions.

Note that, in the XML logs, thee messages generated by scripts are not displayed.

regards,

Andy

Hello,

Where did you copy your script files on linux client ?

The procedure is similar. Copy your script files to /usr/local/avamar/etc/scripts location.

I am trying to do this first time . Can you provide some details on how to execute this script . Do I have to use "root" as the user to execute this ? if not root where do I specify the user ? can it be specified in the avamar dataset under options ?
