UNSOLVED
pre and post command
I am migrating all filesystem backup from Avamar to Networker.
We have a backup job with a pre and a post script on a unix client.
The pre script creates a list of files located in a special directory, the post script deletes those files only if the backup is successful.
With Avamar, a variable that contains the exit code of the backup command exists (AVAMAR_EXITCODE: KB 486410)
I cannot find something similar for Networker.
Any idea?
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply, I realized that I forgot to mention the version of Networker ( 9.1 ). I haven't found that in the command reference guide.
I think I'll have to write a script that uses Networker command to start the backup so I can get the return code and execute the post command.
Regards,
David

Hi Louis,
I'm not sure whether "abort precmd with group: Yes;" would solve your problem (/nsr/res/ .res):
"This can be set to Yes or No. If set to Yes, the precmd will terminate if the particular savegrp is aborted. If it is set to No, the precmd will run to completion even after the abnormal exit of the savegrp session."
