Backup

Pre- and Post-Exec Commands

Chapter 5

253

RESTARTED Set to 1 if this is a restarted backup session, otherwise

set to 0. The

post-exec

can use this variable to

prevent an additional restart in the case that 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-exec

command. Agents can

refer to Disk Agents, Media Agents, Application
Agents, Symmetrix Agents, and so on.

Key Points

✓ The

pre-

and

post-exec

commands for a backup specification have

to be executables or batch files. It is important to specify a filename
extension on Windows.

✓ The

pre-

and

post-exec

commands can be located in any directory

on the system where the Disk Agent is running. If they are located in
a directory other than

\bin

a full

pathname must be specified.
