5.5.2 Pre/Post commands for recovery

Location: Recovery options > Advanced > Pre/Post commands

You can specify commands (or even batch files) that will be automatically executed before and after

the recovery procedure.

For example, you may want to start/stop certain Windows processes, or check your data for viruses

before recovery.

To specify commands (batch files):

 Select a command to be executed before the recovery process starts in the Pre-command field.

To create a new command or select a new batch file, click the Edit button.

 Select a command to be executed after the recovery process ends in the Post-command field. To

create a new command or select a new batch file, click the Edit button.

Please do not try to execute interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user input (for

example, "pause"). These are not supported.

5.5.2.1 Edit user command for recovery

You can specify user commands to be executed before or after recovery:

 In the Command field type-in a command or select it from the list. Click ... to select a batch file.

 In the Working directory field type-in a path for command execution or select it from the list of

previously entered paths.

 In the Arguments field enter or select command execution arguments from the list.

Disabling the Do not perform operations until the command execution is complete parameter

(enabled by default), will permit the recovery process to run concurrently with your command

execution.

The Abort the operation if the user command fails (enabled by default) parameter will abort the

operation if any errors occur in command execution.

You can test the command you entered by clicking the Test command button.

5.5.3 Validation option

Location: Recovery options > Advanced > Validation

 Validate backup before recovery—Enable this option to check the backup integrity before

recovery.

 Check the file system after recovery—Enable this option to check the file system integrity on the

recovered partition.

Only FAT16/32 and NTFS file systems can be checked.

The file system will not be checked if a reboot is required during recovery, for example, when recovering the

system partition to its original place.
