Hello,

I'm having trouble finding any helpful documentation on probe jobs. I have created a bat script to probe, let's call it nsrprobe.bat. It echo's a 0 or a 1 depending on our backup requirements. 0 for backup required. 1 for backup not required.

If the file doesn't exist, instead of reporting an error of it missing, the log shows "Savegroup info: Test_Probe is probing", then "Savegroup info: Test_Probe finished probing, backup is not needed"

If I make it exist, the log shows "Savegroup info: Test_Probe is probing" then "Savegroup info: Test_Probe waiting for 1 job(s) to complete.

The strange thing is, as part of my batch script I output the results to a text file. Whenever Networker "runs the probe" the text file never gets created, which makes me believe Networker isn't running the script at all.

The only probe example I can find online is a .sh script which doesn't help me at all as we run a Windows environment. I've tried running a vbs script instead of a bat but the log file shows me Savegroup failure alert: Test_Probe: error occurred during probing; check that probes exist and can be executed. The error you'd expect when the bat file doesn't exist...

Can someone point me in the right way?
