Problem with Pre/Post Commands on a backup job with more than one server in

Henrik_Jansson

We make a backup each night of our data.
We make a backup of several servers in the same bacup job, (on the same tape)
The problem with this is that we need to run a Pre/Post command on one of the servers that we back up, but I can't find any way in the job setup to specify the server I want to run the Pre/Post command on.
So the backup runs the pre/Post Command on all servers in the backup job.
Since the command that runs are only avvalible on one of the servers I get "Job Failed" because the Pre/Post commands can't be run on four of the five servers I make a backup on.

Is there a way to specify on whitch server I want to run the Pre/Post command? Or is it possible to exclude the error event ID 34113 that follows because of this from the "Alerts"

Hi from Germany!

Is it a Batch-Job for Pre-/Post commands?

If so, just modify your Batch-Job. Use the standard UNC-Commands to select a special server, e.g. "net start \\yoursever\yourservice" see complete list using "net help start" or "net help stop".

pls pardon me for my bad eglish!
