Snapcreator not alerting on pre-script failure

kaisersuzuki — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:09:17 GMT

Hello,

We are running Snapcreator 4.1P1 in an agentless setup. We have a custom pre-script we call on the hosts to place Oracle DB in HBU mode. We have discovered that Snapcreator is returning a 0 exit code on the pre-script portion even when the pre-script fails to run with success. This was confirmed by the fact that our script directory was wiped out on the host without our knowledge and Snapcreator was still reporting successfull backups.

Is this a known issue, or is there some way we can correc this? This is very bad as we have no way of knowing we are not getting good backups.

Thanks,

Brad

Could you explain your configuration further? I'm not sure what you mean by agentless. Without an agent, I don't know how it would be possible to run any scripts at all. Do you mean you're not using a plugin and just using config file scripts?
