BeforeUpload
Script applications called from this interface are carried out before an upload is executed. The upload is carried out once the script application has ended (completed, cancelled, or suspended due to timeout). This can be used to prepare the uploads.
Example: Create backups for devices that have their own custom backup function, but are not yet supported by octoplant.
