Environment The following environment variables are exported, and can be used in

Variables pre- and post-execscripts for a backup specification session on any host:

DATALIST	The name of the backup specification.
MODE	Backup operation type, such as full, incremental,
	incremental1, and so on.
OWNER	Owner of the session.
	The content of this variable is in the same format as in
	the database (case-sensitive):
	<user>.<group>@<hostname> for UNIX and
	<DOMAIN>\<user>@<hostname> for Windows NT.
PREVIEW	Set to 1, if the preview is running. Set to 0, if a backup
	is running. Use this variable to modify your commands
	so that they are executed only during a backup and not
	during a preview. By default, pre- and post-exec
	commands are not executed for preview. You can
	enable this with global option ExecScriptOnPreview.
RESTARTED	Set to 1 if this is a restarted Backup session, otherwise
	set to 0. The post-execcan use this variable to
	prevent an additional restart if SMEXIT equals 0.
SESSIONID	Is used to identify a finished session and is recorded in
	the database. You cannot use this to preview a session
	(use SESSIONKEY).
SESSIONKEY	Is used to identify a running session. You may, for
	example, abort a backup session before it is started if
	something is wrong.
SMEXIT	The exit code of the Session Manager is the same as the
	exit code of the omnib command. You can only use this
	variable with the post-execcommand. Agents can
	refer to Disk Agents, Media Agents, Application
	Agents, and Symmetrix Agents. Refer to Table 5-3 on
	page 253 for details on SMEXIT values.
