Maybe being an ex-programmer, but you have no condition code checking to make 
sure that the NET STOP/START commands completed
successfully. If you NET STOP's don't work, do you still want to run the 
backup? Now if the last NET STOP command fails, then the
preschedulecmd will return with a non-zero completion code and the backup will 
not run. Maybe something like this:

REM StartStuff.cmd

Set LASTCC=0
Set MAXCC=0
Set LOG_FILE=c:\some\path\StartStuff.log
Echo Script start at %date% %time% > %LOG_FILE%

Echo Net stop "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
Net stop "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
Set LASTCC=%ERRORLEVEL%
If %LASTCC% EQU 0 goto stop2
Set MAXCC=%LASTCC%
Echo Stop of the Update Services service failed with RC=%LASTCC% >> %LOG_FILE%
Goto endit

:stop2
Echo Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service" >> %LOG_FILE%
Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service" >> %LOG_FILE%
Set LASTCC=%ERRORLEVEL%
If %LASTCC% EQU 0 goto endit
Set MAXCC=%LASTCC%
Echo Stop of the World Wide Web Publishing Service failed with RC=%LASTCC% >> 
%LOG_FILE%
Echo Net start "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
Net start "Update Services" >> %LOG_FILE%
:endit
Echo Script completed at %date% %time% with RC=%MAXCC% >> %LOG_FILE%
Exit %MAXCC%


Now the script will complete with an appropriate return code and give you all 
the messages in case you need to try and figure out
why it failed.

In the dsm.opt file add:
PRESCHEDULECMD "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StopStuff.bat"
POSTSCHEDULECMD "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StartStuff.bat"
 Or
PRESCHEDULECMD c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StopStuff.bat
POSTSCHEDULECMD c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\StartStuff.bat



In the "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient" directory add:

StartStuff.bat
        Net start "Update Services"
        Net start "World Wide Web Publishing Service"

StopStuff.bat
        Net stop "Update Services"
        Net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service"

Run the backup normally.  The batch has 5 minutes to complete. (I think)

Test both batch files from the command line to make sure there are not any 
dependencies.

I know of no simpler way to stop and start services for a backup.

Tim,

It's defined just like your incremental sched, just set action=command (default 
is incremental), then objects=<your script name>

a q sched <sched name> f=d would show:

Policy Domain Name: SPAIX
                 Schedule Name: STATBKTRACK-FULL
                   Description: The weekly full backup of selected tables on
                                 STATDBMS using SQL-BACKTRACK
                        Action: Command
                       Options:
                       Objects: /home/sybase/dump/dbbkup.s

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
