Pre-action stuck

MSP360 Backup Linux Backup
1

Hi, I’m using Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) and downloaded Cloudberry Backup for Linux with a valid license.

I’ve created a pre-action script like this (/home/user/test.sh):

#!/bin/bash
touch /home/user/bla.txt

Then I’ve attached it to my backup plan via cmd (I don’t see the option in GUI):

$ /opt/local/MSP360\ Backup/bin/cbbV2 plan edit_backup --name "test" --pre-action-enabled "true" --pre-action-command '"/home/user/test.sh"' --confirm

And then I run the backup plan from GUI (tried aldo cmd), and it gets stuck in:

? Preparing 00:00:00 Preparing for starting...
  Pre Action 00:00:00

I tried with other commands like “mysqldump” or “cp”, but nothing works. After a while, I have to manually stop the backup and I get the error:

Pre Action error (Code: 1014)

Description:
Description taken from exception

Solution:
Edit settings on the Pre / Post Actions step of your plan

BTW there’s no option to set the pre/post action in the GUI.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there an example of a simple script for Linux I can use?

Thank you

What exact license do you have? Linux Ultimate

[reply=“Alexander Negrash;10495”] You provided me a license for “MSP360 Backup for Linux Server Edition”. I activated it in the Cloudberry version you can download here https://www.msp360.com/cloudberry-backup/download/cbbub1214/

[reply=“Luciano;10497”] Pre-Post actions are only available with the Ultimate license

[reply=“Alexander Negrash;10498”] Oh… that’s really bad news and should in the docs. What are the benefits of the license I have then? I applied for the “blog” license only to have this pre/post actions available. Thank you.
