Pre/Post data capture commands

Thread needs solution

we are using acronis 11.5 virtual edition for backing up our virtual machines of an Esxi 4.1 host.
Now we want to execute some Pre/Post data capture commands on the guest that we want to backup. But somehow just nothing happens.
We have created for testing an smal batch file c:\test.bat on the guest machine that writes an timestamp in an file when executed. This bacthfile we have entered as Pre data capture command. But somehow it isnt executed. The backup is executed, but no timestamp is written ( batch works if directly started on guest ).
Can me give someone an tipp how to use that ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Joachim Badzong,

Thank you for using Acronis software and posting your question in our forum.

If you use an agent-less backup, the batch file is not running on the guest system. In this case, you need an Acronis agent installed in the guest system. See Limitations for backup at hypervisor level.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
