Thanks Lawerence,

I  wasn't aware of that I had planned on  putting the  following commands
in the dsm.opt file. I have never defined a script schedule before I am
going to have to figure out the correct syntax for this type of script.
feel free to give example

Tim

where it is in the dsm.opt shouldn't matter, but since you want to stop
multiple processes and can only use one -preschedulecmd="my script""
you might want to think about defining a schedule that executes a
script to stop your processes, does the incremental, then restarts
them.

Hello,

I need to stop two services before the incremental backup runs then
restart the services
once the backup completes. I know about the prescheduled and
postscheduled
commands but have never used them. Where do I insert the commands in
dsm.opt file for
this to excute successfully? The following are the two services that
need to be stopped
then restarted once backup completes can someone tell me where I would
put in the dsm.opt file?
The dsm.opt file is below also.


1)Update Services
2) World Wide Web Publishing Service



Thanks in advance for any help!
