Post backup scripts

[Adie84]

Hi All,

I have looked at many posts on this topic and have looked at the information in the Admin Guide but have yet to find a solution:

I want to run a post-backup script on a MS SQL server with 7.6.1.1 client. The script simply needs to run an executable (C:\MyProgram.exe for example) after the SQL backup has finished. I understand the bpend_notify.bat file won't work as there is no bpbkar process for a MS SQL backup but have also tried the backup_exit_notify.bat and dbbackup_notify.bat file to no avail.

Thanks,

Ade

Just had a response from Symantec tech support and it would appear the only way to do this is to use dbbackex and run my executable as part of the batch file.
