Change default timout for a "pre-job" script?

Post by VAB »

Hello!

This is on Solaris, but I assume that the mechanism is similar on the other Unix and Unix-like OSes.

I am investigating the pre- and post-job feature. These are scripts that are started before and after execution of a backup job, respectively. I would like to use a pre-job script to dump a database into a directory, then back up that directory. The database dump can take a long time. However, the "Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris 4 User Guide" says:

"The default time period for script execution is 10 minutes. After this period expires, Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris stops executing the script and displays a warning message in the job session.!

How can I increase this 10 minute timout?

Thanks,
VAB

Hello @VAB

You can archive it by altering following configuration line in /etc/veeam/veeam.ini file:

Code: Select all

# Timeout for pre- and post-backup scripts, sec
timeoutPrePost = 600
Do not forget to restart agent service.
