Can a post-dle-backup script invalidate the backup?

Hi, If a backup application succeeds (exit 0), but then a post-dle-backup script runs and detects an error, does the backup get marked as failed? Example: the amlvmsnapshot script runs at pre-dle-backup and creates a snapshot, runs again at post-dle-backup and removes it. At the time of removal, it checks the size usage of the snapshot. If it reached 100% during the time the backup was running, it is bad news, and one must not trust the backup, but only the post-dle-backup script detects this, even if the backup application seemed to exit normally. -Chap
