Pre/Post commands, delete folders after succesful backup

[jack_armstron]

Hey there guys/ladies
Instead of reinventing the wheel, i'm wondering if anyone out there has some canned batch files that you would post, to help me out with this. My batch file writing skills are next to nothing, but I could definatly hijack something already written. I'm basically trying to run a job that will tape archive log files that are getting saved from SQL, and upon a succesfull job, the folders will be deleted.

Hello,

Open a notepad and enter the following cmd:


del C:\folder\*.* /s /q (You can specify any drive where the folder exists).

Save this file as a ".BAT" extension.


Thats it, You can now place this file in the POST CMD section of Backupexec and delete all the files under the PARTICULAR FOLDER

If you want to backup and remove all files in a given folder, why not create an Archive job? An archive job will delete files after a successful backup

If you go with the specified batch file, be sure that you select to run the post command only if the backup job is successful.
