In this version you can execute external Tools, Node based. This allows you to provide DR Options for each Client, for example partitioning of the disk, formatting the disk and so on. Another new Option is the “externaltooldependondsmopt”. This Option needs a saved dsm.opt before the external Tool is started (If you want to use dsmc to restore the client).
An Example of the updated tsmgui.cfg:
NODENAME=Node1
;EXTERNALTOOL=<external tool to start>
;the file must be in the path env. variable or provide the full path
;EXTERNALTOOLDESC=<displayname>
;the displayname of the external tool. this is optional, if you don’t provide a
;displayname, the name of EXTERNALTOOL will be displayed.
EXTERNALTOOL=calc.exe
EXTERNALTOOLDESC=1) i need to do the math.
;example of a external tool without description
EXTERNALTOOL=calc.exe
;example of a external tool with description
EXTERNALTOOL=calc.exe
EXTERNALTOOLDESC=1) i need a break.
;EXTERNALTOOLSDEPENDONDSMOPT=y|n
;if your external tools depend on the dsm.opt (path=WRITEOPTTO+mydsm.opt) you can enable this setting.
;if you enable this option, the start external tools button will be disabled until you save your opt file
EXTERNALTOOLSDEPENDONDSMOPT=y
NODENAME=Node2

Can this plugin be made to accept manually typed in node names when it starts up? I have ~175 servers I would like to use this with and trying to keep a tsmgui.cfg file up to date with all those names would be a nightmare.
