run an additional task before and after backup?

[discopatrick]

I need to put my app into maintenance mode before the backup happens, and then pull it out of maintenance mode afterwards.

I'd also like to backup both the db and directory, one after the other, in the same cron job, rather than at separate times.

Are these things possible with Stouts.backup?

Check thoses templates :

Stouts.backup/templates/pre.j2

Line 31 in 840d94b

{{ action }}

Stouts.backup/templates/post.j2

Line 12 in 7934bf1

{% for action in item.post_actions|default([]) %}
