I am backing up some basic files on servers. my job has a pre-command that runs a basic export function, the job backs up the basic files and my post-command is SUPPOSED to delete these exported files after the backup.
my post command is this: del d:\PrinterExports\JCEDHCP\*.* /q
for some reason the post command fails, listing "file not found". yet when i execute this command manually it works perfectly. also if i put this command in a batch file and execute the .bat as the post command everything works perfectly. i would like to avoid using .bat files for such a simple function, why doesnt this just work?
Solved! Go to Solution.

or you can create a CMD/BAT file and call that. can be as complicated as you wish
or you can create what BackupExec calls an "Archive" job. This will backup the selection list, then if and only if, it gets a successful return, will delete the items just backed up
