> DUPLICATI\_\_EVENTNAME = when script was triggered such as “BEFORE” or “AFTER”  
> DUPLICATI\_\_OPERATIONNAME = operation, such as “Backup”, “Cleanup”, “Restore”, etc.  
> DUPLICATI\_\_RESULTFILE = path to file in which result data is stored  
> DUPLICATI\_\_REMOTEURL = “URL” target backend  
> DUPLICATI\_\_LOCALPATH = path to folders being backed up or restored  
> DUPLICATI\_\_PARSED\_RESULT = run result such as “Unknown”, “Success”, “Warning”, “Error”, or “Fatal”

Edit: Removed scripting code that somehow got in there with a copy paste (sorry about that).
