Customize actions before and/or after the restore plan run.
Custom Scripts
You can execute custom scripts before or after running the restore plan.
To specify the script execution before the restore plan starts, select the Pre-restore action check box, then specify the path to the script in the field below. To open a standard Windows dialog box, click the ... button
Select the pre-restore script execution options:
Exit restore plan if pre-restore action failed. Select this option to cancel the restore plan run in case the specified script fails
Continue restore plan if restore action failed. Select this option to run the restore plan regardless the specified script execution results
To specify the script execution after the restore plan terminates, select the Post-restore action check box, then specify the path to the script in the field below. To open a standard Windows dialog box, click the ... button
Select the post-restore script execution options:
Execute post-restore action only if restore plan has been successfully completed. Select this option to execute the post-restore script only in case of a restore plan success
Execute post-restore action in any case (regardless the restore result). Select this option to execute the post-restore script in any case
Note that an absolute path to a script is required, i.e. if you specify the path to a script, it should be as follows:
In case the absolute path to a script file is not specified, the default directory for script is "C:\Windows\System32"
The following script formats are supported: EXE, COM, BAT, CMD, or PIF
Mind that MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup supports EXE files have several restrictions: EXE files must not use GUI and must close automatically upon termination.
For example, the following script will not succeed:
In this case, this command must be used with the /C parameter, as shown below:
The same restriction applies to applications executed by PowerShell scripts:
It is highly recommended to perform a test run for the created restore plan to ensure that MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup properly executes specified scripts
