Enter the executable to be run after the Mirror has completed

Specify an executable file to start after the mirror task finishes running. Specify the path to the executable you want to run, or click Browse to locate it.

For example, you can start a network message utility that notifies the administrator that the mirror task completed successfully.

Note: The program file that you specify must be executable by the currently logged on user. If the currently logged on user does not have access to the folder containing the program files, or if there is no currently logged on user, the program does not run.
Only run after successful mirror

Run the executable program only after a successful mirror. If the mirror is not successful, the program you specified does not run.

Mirror Location

Specify the path to the destination on the local system that you are using for the mirror site.

Note: System variables are supported.
Schedule

Define the schedule for this update task.

Note:

See Scheduling Tasks for more information.

We do not recommend that you schedule an AutoUpdate task and a mirror task to run at the same time. Both tasks use the McAfee Common Framework service, consequently running both tasks at the same time may result in a conflict.
