I want to use Duplicacy to backup a sql dump and some files.
Some backup agents have the ability to execute a task/script prior to backup.
I know that I could first run the sql dump script using windows task planner, but this is not ideal since I would need to schedule task planner and make sure that there is enough time to finish the dump before duplicacy runs.
I don’t think this feature is currently implemented but it would be nice to have.
It is supported. Please have a look at Pre Command and Post Command Scripts to setup pre- and post- scripts that are run before and after command, configurable per-command, including backup.
In other words, place your executable script file to .duplicacy/scripts/pre-backup (or with extension .bat if on windows) and it will execute before backup.
Oke great,
But where should this .duplicacy folder be located on windows?
Nevermind, found my answer here:
Note that my duplicacy-utils are unrelated to the duplicacy application. They are just a bunch of scripts that i use for automating duplicacy on my computers.
