Hello, I have had two B2D backups fail on me due to the e0008ld0 pre post command. Can someone help me?

Please post the exact error that you are getting in the Job log.
Also, are you using the Pre-post command option in Backup Exec??
Have you confirmed that the Pre-post batch files are getting executed correctly when run outside Backup Exec ??
Please provide more information about why the pre-post is used here.
Thanks,

Yes I am using the pre-post command option
Here is how i am using it:
Settings Pre/Post commands
D:\application.exe STOP application
D:\application.exe START application
I'm not using a batch file.
We have this application stop while the backup is running.
Here is error from the job log
Backup- DOHSFPCHD3707
V-79-57344-33232 -
Error: Pre Job Command did not complete in time.
Error: Pre Job Command
D:\application.exe STOP application

If you logon as the BESA does the command run OK?
Also, remember that when the Pre/Post commands run, there is no path set, so all commands require an absolute path in the command itself. One of the reasons for using a CMD file. You can set a path as the first statement in the file

What is a BESA? I'm not using a command file, I just using stop as the precommand to stop the application and start as the post command.

the Backup Exec Service Account(BESA) is the account used to start the Backup Exec services. This is the account the service uses when it runs your script.

How do I run or test the script from inside Backup Exec?

What you need to do is to logon to the media server using the BESA and then execute the command. If it failed, then you have to trouble-shoot why it failed, e.g. lack of permission, etc. Once you can successfully execute the command while you are logon as the BESA, then you should have no problem using as either a pre- or a post- command.
Also, you might want to lengthen the time for the pre-command to complete before declaring it as a failure.

Its set to 30 minutes for quiting. I have the option check not to run backup if precommand fails.
