Run script only after N jobs complete?

Post by TheWaterbug »

I want to automate my airgapping with a programmable power strip that turns off one of two USB external HDDs. I can write a script to unmount the drive, turn off the power, turn on the other one, and remount the other one.

But I want to run this script only after 2 jobs have completed.

And then, after those 2 jobs run another time, run the script to swap the drives.

Right now I see only a place to run a script within a job description. Is there any way, within Veeam, to do what I want? Or do I need to call the same script from both jobs and embed the AND() and swapping logic in the script?

Anyone have a canned script that I can edit? Thanks!

Hi Steven

You could write a script outside of veeam. Use the task scheduler to get the job history and do your magic to swap the drives when needed.
I ask myself, if it's secure if you can use a script to activate a disk over the powerstrip. A hacker can do the same if he has access to your backup server.
The scripts are on the backup server and everyone with administrative permission can run them.
