Create a task specification file

PDFs

You can create the task specification files by using graphical user interface (GUI), command-line interface (CLI), or a text editor. These files are used for performing preprocessing or post-processing activity of the backup, restore, or clone operations.

Steps

  1. Create a task specification file by using GUI, CLI, or a text editor.

    Example

    You can create the specification file based on the structure of the following sample task specification file:

    <task-specification>
  <pre-tasks>
				<task>
      <name>name</name>
      <parameter>
          <name>name</name>
          <value>value</value>
       </parameter>
    </task>
  </pre-tasks>
  <post-tasks>
    <task>
      <name>name</name>
      <parameter>
          <name>name</name>
          <value>value</value>
       </parameter>
    </task>
  </post-tasks>
</task-specification>

  2. Enter the script name.

  3. Enter the parameter name and the value assigned to the parameter.

  4. Save the XML file in the correct installation directory.
