Backup > Pre/Post Script

Use Pre/Post Script to prepare a system for backup. For example, you may wish to force a system service, such as Exchange or a database, to write all its data to disk prior to system backup. Typically this can be done without requiring the service in question to be down during backup. So all critical services may be left fully operational at all time. You can specify a script to run prior to and/or after the schedule backup task.

For example, to backup an Exchange Server, a snap shot of the database is needed prior to the backup start.  A script will quickly start and stop Exchange to take the snapshot of the database prior to the start of the backup.

Just select the machine, select the script to run before or after backup and click Set.
