Thx for the help. I got it working using the following:

backup.res:

type: savepnpc;
precmd: "C:\\progra~1\\Legato\\nsr\\radius.bat";
pstcmd: "";
timeout: "12:00:00";
abort precmd with group: No;

radius.bat:

c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C c:\windows\system32\netsh.exe aaaa show
config > C:\Backup_Export\radius_config.txt
