Post Job script time out

[sbach]

I have a .bat that runs after backups run every night, what is the proper exit on this so Veeam doesn't annoy me with time out emails every morning? The script runs successfully so that isn't an issue. I have 'exit' as the last command in the .bat and it still times out.

It's exit code 0 for success:

Code: Select all

exit /b 0

Is there any chance the script is taking longer than 15 minutes to run before it exits? If so, you'll need to increase the default timeout for pre/post-job scripts via a registry tweak.

Ah yes, just checked. Once a week it'll take a bit longer to run. Thanks.
