I hadn't heard anything back on this post.  Anyone have a similar situation
with a Windows client on a Solaris server?  Is this a brain dead rtfm
question?  If so, someone please point me to which page in which manual I
can chew on ;)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Local Client Pre/Post Command Execution


I have a NT2000 client on which I need to run a batch file to shut down some
running processes before my nightly backup begins.  I have a similar batch
that will restart these processes once the backup is complete.  My server is
Data Center 3.4 on Solaris 7.  I have looked at the client options on the
2000 box, but I do not see any options under configure to specify what needs
to execute before and after backups.  Can this be done from the client?  I
would prefer not to have to mess around in my class setup.  Right now I have
a vanilla windows class and all MS machines just back up all local drives.
I have successfully used the exclude setting in the clients to then tune
what gets backed up.  I want to do the same with pre/post command execution.
Thanks for the help.

Chris
