Problem with Pre-Post command (advanced options)
I have created a batch file that uses WOL (Wake-on-LAN) to wake up the file server that I want to backup to.
I have verified that this batch file works with "Test command" in True Image 2016.
My problem is that when I initiate the backup, True Image first tries to open the network share on the file server, before execute the Pre-command batch. This fails, of course, since the machine is not up yet. Basically, True Image is not executing the batch file early enough. It really needs to execute it before anything else. Can this please be fixed ?

Also, it's not possible to edit any backup settings - for example, schedule, while the target server is down (sleeping) .

Hi Julien, good testing and thanks for pointing this out. I would suggest submitting it directly to Acronis via the in app feedback tool to register it as well. Perhaps, also consider joining the 2017 beta testing so you can test if the behavior still exists in 2017 and would be more likely to get it resolved or at least addressed before the final version is released (or as a something on the radar for early updates).
