Using Pre/Post processes to run processes before and/or after a restore
DS-Client can perform a specified activity on the DS-Client computer or on the restore destination computer before and/or after a restore operation. For example, such an activity may be to stop a Windows service before restore and to restart it after restore.
Like Pre/Post Execution for backup, the Pre/Post Execution options selected in the Restore Now Wizard for a backup set will be automatically re-applied before and after each subsequent restore of the set.
• To open the Restore Now Wizard, browse the Backup Sets tree, right-click the required backup set, and click Restore Now.
To execute pre-restore and/or post-restore activities
1. In the Select restore options screen of the Restore Now Wizard, make sure the check box Skip Pre/Post is selected.
2. Click the Pre/Post button.
3. In the Pre & Post Execution screen, select the required command(s) and setting(s).
