Passing return code to post command script?
Does anyone know how to pass the return code of the Avamar backup job down to its post command script? I basically need a way to have the post command script run one set of commands if the backup job success or another set of commands if the backup job fails.
Thanks in advance.

We have the same question here - there doesn't appear to be a run post-script on successful backup checkbox....is there a way to handle this in a script..perhaps read the output of the backup log?

Try adding the parameter.
--run-at-end-clauses=exit-on-error=true
default is set to false

its located in the avamar technical addendum pdf page 198 for all the available option it only specifies
--run-at-start-clauses= but you also have --run-at-end-clauses.
one of the current options i have set at one of my projects is
--run-at-start-clauses=timeout-seconds=72000
--run-at-end-clauses=timeout-seconds=80000
which give allowed us to increase the timeout value for the pre and post script.

Has anybody figured this out?
I have a need to create a windows script that can be triggered at the end of the backup, and hopefully pass a parameter from Avamar to the windows script so that the script can send an SMTP message to the user that the backup of their server has been successful or a failure.
Can any of the event codes 30,000 - 30,933 be passed to the script.
Even if it only passed the number, I could then echo some text that would explain what that code number means.
Thanks.

I spent 2 months with EMC to get what I needed done.
No way to pass return code.
what I needed was do one thing if the backup was good and
send an email to a group of people if the Avamar backup failed.
this was my results - typed up - use what you can, test test test.
