Hello all
I wanted to revisit this problem, seeing as I am on 6.5.3 for clients and Master / Media / Windows 2003 SP2
 
Last time I had a problem on Oracle. Good news is, I dont need to this, but I do have a problem with an Oracle, Exhange and some file level systems while the AV is running and the Backups runs.
 
I have a Policy with 10 clients, All Win2k3. This Policy allows for Multiple Data Streams.
 
What I need to do is during the backup, I need to shutdown the Relevant AV services, and restart ONLY when the entire job has completed on the clients.
 
I recall a script in 6.5.3 called Parent_start and Parent end. I just wondered if anyone uses this, or could tell me if this would help me get around the problem.
 
Essentially, I only need to use the Windows command NET STOP <ServiceName> and when the backup completes (regardless of status) NET START <ServiceName>
 
With 5.1, it was problematic, as a client could have 5 volumes, and although I can stop the Service just fine, if one partition ended quickly, the Service would start up! This is due to the streaming as I read it.
 
Any advice is very welcome, Thanks again
Simon
