Backup Scripting Overview

Overview

Macrium Reflect LTSC has the ability to create VBScript, PowerShell, and MS-DOS source files to add pre and post-backup functionality to backup definitions. These scripts act as a "wrapper" around the backup definition file that executes commands and applications before and after the backup definition file runs.

These scripts enable a host of custom pre and post-backup operations, some common uses include: synchronizing backups, ejecting USB drives, disconnecting network shares, and more.
