Can a Custom Action run PRIOR to the Uninstall during a Major Upgrade?

I have created a Major Upgrade in which I've set it to "Completely Uninstall then Reinstall"
But, before the previous version gets uninstalled I want to backup certain files.
Currently I have it set for immediate execution, but where in the sequence should I put it? It tried setting it to - but that's is unclear to me because next time I look at what I set it changed to After Install Finalize...

MSI RemoveExistingProducts standard action removes previous version(s) of the product. You should schedule your custom action before that.
