4.2.10 Sequence of operations in a backup plan
If a backup plan contains multiple operations, Acronis Backup performs them in the following order:
1. Cleanup (if configured Before backup) and validation (if cleanup has been performed and
validation is configured to run After the retention rules are applied).
If a backup was moved to a different location during the cleanup, all the operations configured
for the subsequent locations are performed before continuing to the following steps in the
primary location.
2. Pre-backup command execution.
3. Backup:
a. Pre-data capture command execution
b. Snapshot creation
c. Post-data capture command execution
d. Backup process
4. Start of backup cataloging.
Backup cataloging can be a time-consuming process. It is performed in parallel with the following
steps.
5. Post-backup command execution.
6. Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) creation.
7. Conversion to a virtual machine.
8. Backup replication.
9. Cleanup.
If the replication took place, or a backup was moved to a different location during the cleanup, all
the operations configured for the subsequent locations are performed before continuing to the
following steps in the primary location.
10. Validation.
11. Sending e-mail notification.
