Script Settings

You can specify what scripts Veeam Backup & Replication will execute on the backup server before and after the session of the Veeam Agent backup job managed by the backup server.

To specify script settings for the backup job:

1. At the Storage step of the wizard, click Change default advanced settings and open the Scripts tab.
2. Under Job scripts, turn on the Run the following script before the job or Run the following script after the job toggle (or both), and specify the path to the executable file in the field below.

• If you use Veeam Backup & Replication on Linux, specify a path to a file in the /var/lib/veeam/scripts* directory.
• If you use Veeam Backup & Replication on Microsoft Windows, specify a path to a file in a local folder.

The scripts are executed on the backup server.

You can select to execute pre- and post-backup actions after a number of backup sessions or on specific week days.

• If you select the Run scripts every option, specify the number of backup job sessions after which the scripts must be executed.
• If you select the Run scripts on the selected days only option, expand the drop-down list on the right and select the week days on which the scripts must be executed.
