Hello,

I’m looking for a way to set a timeout for PreBackup and PostBackup process.

My expectation was a default timeout of 600 seconds. Therefore I created a batch script which has a wait of 700 seconds included. Commvault was patiently waiting for the script to finish, but I would like to have a timeout after which Commvault fails the job.

Does anybody know a way to set such a timeout? I could not find any hint on this and also no additional setting.

Hello @Marc St. 

I do not think there is a timeout setting that can be entered within Commvault. However if you can modify the script to return a non-zero error after 600 seconds or whatever time and use the following additional setting it will force the job to fail.
