Hi Davina:

Thanks for ur reply.

Can I abort the savegrp from a pre_backup.  For example,

I start the savegrp from scheduler.
Check if batch is running.  If yes, abort backup.  If no, continue
backup.

The above logic can I incorporate in pre_backup. If so, HOW


Sort of but it's a bit clunky. If you make the pre-processing script
exit with a non-zero return code it will make that save set fail, and
not do the save of the data. The bad news is that NetWorker will retry
the pre-processing for the next save set in the list. If you have 10
save sets for that client it will try it 10 times. Worse still, if you
have client retries on the group set to a non-zero value (default is 1
or 2 I think), it will continue trying this until all the save sets have
been tried 'n' times. It could take a long time to fail and it's very messy.
