Z-DBackup can not only run programs, batch or VB scripts before or after a backup, but can also execute commands on remote computers, which means that you can control other machines in a network before and after backups. This allows for an easy realization of complex backup tasks in a network.

Precondition for this remote controlling is an installation of Z-Cron on the network computers.

A predefined Z-Cron job is needed on the network computers that you want to control. In this job, the task to be run locally must be defined. You can define actions in Z-DBackup that will be executed before or after a backup. To control a remote computer, you have to set the action to Run Z-Cron job. When the backup is run, the action will be performed the specified Z-Cron job is run on the machine with the specified IP address.

 Automatically perform actions before/after backup

With the IP address set to "localhost" the Z-Cron job is run on your own computer. To control another computer in the network, its IP address must be entered here.

Configuration of Z-Cron
To execute the action in the network, the Z-Cron service and Z-Cron's TCP service must be activated in the Z-Cron program settings.
