You can make Acronis True Image automatically run commands before or after the backup process. This is done by specifying the commands (or any executable files) in the Pre/post commands option of the Backup or Recovery wizard.

You can make Acronis True Image suspend services of your database for a short moment by providing commands or executable file (e.g., batch files) in the Before/after data capture commands option under Database support. The commands will be executed during the backup process right before Acronis True Image makes a snapshot of the system and immediately after it, before the actual backup process completes.

Before/after data capture commands are an option of the following Acronis products:

• Acronis True Image 9.1 Server for Windows
• Acronis True Image 9.1 Enterprise Server
• Acronis True Image Echo Server for Windows
• Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server
