Pre- and Post-Exec Commands for a Specific Backup Object

Pre- and post-execcommands for an object are executed before and after the backup of the object, respectively. You can specify these commands for all objects in a backup specification, or for each individual object. When backing up integrations, for example Oracle, the database is considered as an object, so the commands are executed before and after the database backup. These commands are executed on the system where the Disk Agent is running.

Where to Locate Pre- and post-execcommands for backup objects on UNIX systems are

the Commands started by the backup session owner, unless the backup session owner has the Back up as root permission and the commands are then started under root.

On UNIX Cell Managers and clients, the exec commands for backup objects can reside in any directory, and the full pathname must be specified when defining the backup specification. However, for host backups the exec commands must reside in the /opt/omni/lbin directory on HP-UX or in /usr/omni/bin on other UNIX systems. In this case, only the filename can be specified. The commands have to be located on the system where the Disk Agent is running.
