Pre-command and Wake On LAN.

[tjv]

Hi, I'm new to NAS backups. Much to learn

The NAS (Asustor AS5404T) will be in sleep mode when not needed.
So you need to put a pre-command in the backup task to wake up the NAS.
However, the task in Windows 11 fails.
Instead, Hasleo gives error code 0x07B0021300000035: 'The network path is not available'.
If I run the batch file outside Hasleo Backup Suite Free (5.6.2.1), the NAS wakes up, no problem.
And there is a time delay in the batch file to guarantee the NAS is fully booted.
It looks like Hasleo backup checks the path before the pre-command. Is this true or not?

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

Your diagnosis is correct, Hasleo checks the network path before executing the pre‑command, which causes the error before the NAS wakes up. We will improve this execution order in a future version. As a temporary workaround, please use Windows Task Scheduler to run the wake‑up script in advance.

Best regards,
