Suspend/defer a script with RetroHandler

[xavier8854]

Hello,

 

Using Retro 6.5 Server for Windows (200 Server), I'm looking for a way to suspend/defer the execution of a script until *ALL* other scripts arer completed.

 

The purpose is to backup my servers and stations in one fast pass on disk, then save those backups on a tape. Otherwise, if I use only tape, the jobs are not finished when users start to work in the morning.

 

And no, the hour is not a sufficient criteria, weekly backups may last more than 24 hours.

 

Should it be a solution to not schedule this script, and fire it manually in the "on exit" handler of Retrospect, provided that Retrospect is set to quit on completion ?

 

Or is there a way to count the waiting and executing tasks ?

 

Thanks for advice,

 

XAv

Hi

 

So you are duplicating to disk first then backing up to tape after that?

You might want to specify execution units to force scripts to run in sequece. For example if you set all of your scripts to use execution unit 1 and then set them to run 5 minutes apart the scripts will run in order, one after the other until all the scripts are complete.

 

Thanks
