Task Events

Titan Backup allows you to select external programs to run before the backup starts or after it ends. Also there is the possibility to shut down the computer or log off automatically after the backup task is done.

Task Events

You can select what actions to be made before / after the task runs:

  1. Run before task starts - you can choose to automatically run an external program before task starts. This is very useful when the data that is about to be saved can/should be updated by an external aplication, or if that program must be stopped before the task starts.

    • use browse button to locate the application you want to run before task starts

    • you can choose to wait for the application to end before starting the task to be certain on the integrity of you data.

  2. Run after task ends - you can choose to automatically run any external application after task ends (backup is created).

    • use browse button to locate the application (s) you want to run after task ends.

  1. Shutdown computer after tasks ends - Titan Backup will automatically shutdown the computer after the backup is created.

  2. Log off computer after task ends - Titan backup will log off the computer after the backup is created but will not shutdown the computer

 

 

Task Notifications

You can select what types of notifications you want to receive.

  1. Notify on Errors - while a task is running some errors can occur and this will stop the task run. Titan Backup can notify you on such events in several ways:

    • Show window - a window will open notifying you that an error has occurred.

    • Play sound - a specific sound will be played notifying you that an error occurred.

    • Send email - an email will be sent (to the email address specified on General information of the task) notifying you that an error has occurred.

Examples of situation when errors occur: the storage device on which the backup should be created is not accessible ( backup is halted ).

 

 
  1. Notify on Warnings - when warnings occur while the task is running (task is still running), Titan Backup can:

  2. Notify on Summary - after a backup task ends Titan Backup can create a summary of the operation. Choose the action that should be taken to notify you on the task summary (after the task was completed):

Note: the notification emails are sent using a SMTP server of your choice: this must be specified in the emails settings of the Titan Backup Options.
