* On the backup Server, make sure to specify the complete path to the scripts.
Additionally, If the pre or post script file contains a command requesting a delay, it will be ignored and all other commands in the script will be executed immediately.
To workaround this, create a“netvault.cfg” file on the NetWare machine and locate it in the directory where netvault.nlm is stored. Open this file with any text editing application and append the following two lines to it:
[Scripts]
Post execution delay = xx (in seconds)
If the netvault.nlm is already loaded, unload netvault.nlm and load it again.
