New Feature
Is this the appropriate place to request a new feature? I'd like the ability to run a .cmd script after a backup finishes. My script would upload the backup to my AWS bucket. I did that with EaseUS ToDo Backup when I used them, but I decided to stop using them for various reasons when I talked to their support. Does this forum go to employees of R-TT? Please note that EaseUS has pre- and post-backup script running options.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: New Feature
By saying “Options > backup options” are you saying this option exists to run post backup scripts? I don’t see it.
Re: New Feature
Create an Image -> Backup Options.
Re: New Feature
Great. I'll try that out tonight. I also have a reply to my other post. I'll reply to that now. Thanks for the help.
Re: New Feature
I ran my backup with my script attached as the following and it worked, but it writes data to a log file and the file was created, but it was empty when the job finished. It never wrote during the job, either.
Here's how I attached that script to my backup job.
In the "after" spot of Backup AUX applications I put:
cmd.exe /c "H:\Users\LindaJim\Documents\SourceCode\Software\aws_pc_backup\dist\system backup script.cmd"
The script writes to the log file if I run it outside of R Drive Image during the job.
I have R-Drive Image Standalone 7.0 (Build 7005). I have windows 10 64-bit installed and the program I'm running is 64-bit.

Re: New Feature
I reached out to the EaseUS ToDo backup support a while back on issues with their implementation of much the same option. They used the start command though and I criticized them for saying that my script was successful in their logs after the start command finished, since they couldn't possibly know that. However, my script did write to my logs in their solution. They also didn't use cmd.exe /c before the command there. Not sure if this helps you or not.
Re: New Feature
no. It's not working at all. I created the task with the after Backup AUX application option as follows:
cmd.exe /c "H:\Users\LindaJim\Documents\SourceCode\Software\aws_pc_backup\dist\E drive 256GB backup script.cmd"
The script runs fine outside of R Drive. It only creates an empty log file within R Drive. I don't see anything running in task manager and the first thing it does is copy a file and that is not happening.
I tried a number of different options with the after Backup AUX application option to get this to work including the following, but nothing worked:
start "H:\Users\LindaJim\Documents\SourceCode\Software\aws_pc_backup\dist\E drive 256GB backup script.cmd"
start cmd.exe /c "H:\Users\LindaJim\Documents\SourceCode\Software\aws_pc_backup\dist\E drive 256GB backup script.cmd"
"H:\Users\LindaJim\Documents\SourceCode\Software\aws_pc_backup\dist\E drive 256GB backup script.cmd"
When will this be fixed?
cmd.exe /c "H:\Users\LindaJim\Documents\SourceCode\Software\aws_pc_backup\dist\E drive 256GB backup script.cmd"

Re: New Feature
When an executable file starts from R-Drive Image, it runs under the Local System account. May be, some problems with mounted disks, access rights, etc?
Re: New Feature
The local account is an administrator account. It shouldn't have to do with rights, correct? I redirect stdout and stderr output from that 64-bit program to that file within that .cmd script and it's always empty.
