Execution Configurations

Using this tab, you can create a command execution configuration, i.e. commands executed for the proper backup of your application (or directed to the script file).
Prepare the script or commands, and (if remote SSH execution is required) put them on the remote machine with your application.
In the Applications section, create a new Command Execution Configuration.
This is a description of how your script is going to be invoked - you need to specify:
Command arguments (the first one is the actual executable) - all arguments should be provided separately - vProtect assumes that they can contain spaces.
CMD execution method - either on the Node or a command to be executed remotely.
Select existing Applications (or skip this for now - it can be assigned later).
Export data - this switch allows you to export (or not) data that will be generated by the command (sometimes you may want vProtect just to execute commands without transferring anything).
Source type (if you export data)
FILE - select if your command produces a single file/directory (or multiple files) - if you provide a directory or path with wildcards, vProtect will create a TAR archive - you have to specify the Source Path for this source type.
STREAM - select if your command generates backup to the standard output.
Timeout - for script/command execution - make sure to have this timeout set to a value high enough to allow your command to complete its execution.
Optionally, you can define the environment variables that you'll later be able to use in your commands/scripts. Note that the variable name should not contain white-space characters.**
