Simon,
          We use the following pre post scripts. Its not been tested at 6.5.3 
but should work i think ! 

bpstart_notify basically shuts "stuff" down in stream 1 and all other streams 
wait till stream1 lock file disappears.

bpend_notify identifies which is the last stream to complete and restarts 
"stuff"

bpstart_notify.POLICY_NAME script


@REM This bat script runs prior to the backup starting and can be used for 
stopping
@REM virus checker, services, databases etc, etc.

@REM If STREAM_NUMBER = 1 it calls C:\Batch\NetBackup_Stop_Services.bat which 
is a bat script maintained by Desktop.
@REM IF STREAM_NUMBER != 1 then it waits for STREAM1 shutdown to complete. Then 
exits.

@REM This script needs to be named in line with the POLICY for netbackup to 
recognise it.
@REM eg if POLICY name is SRV999AP_BKUP, this script needs to be called 
bpstart_notify.SRV999AP_BKUP.bat

@REM The bat script can be made schedule specific along the same lines of 
specific exclude lists
@REM eg bpstart_notify.SRV999AP_BKUP.SCHEDULE.bat

@REM %1 = Client name %2 = Policy %3 = Schedule %4 = FULL CINC or DIFF 

cd c:\"program files"\veritas\netbackup\logs

@set OUTFILE=c:\"program 
files"\veritas\netbackup\logs\%2_notify_STREAM%STREAM_NUMBER%.txt
@set LOCKFILE=c:\"program files"\veritas\netbackup\logs\%2_stream_lock.txt

@REM Exit if STREAM_NUMBER not set. Probable accidental execution of script !

if %STREAM_NUMBER% == "" goto END

@echo ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> START OF %1 %2 %3 %4 STREAM NUMBER = 
%STREAM_NUMBER% <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<" >> %OUTFILE%

@date /t >> %OUTFILE%
@time /t >> %OUTFILE%

@REM Check that the COMPLETE flag for this stream does not exist. Delete if it 
does, it shouldnt exist at start of backup.

if EXIST STREAM_NUMBER%STREAM_NUMBER%_COMPLETE.txt goto EXISTS

@echo ">>>> STREAM_NUMBER%STREAM_NUMBER%_COMPLETE.txt exists, deleting it" >>

if %STREAM_NUMBER% == 1 goto SHUTDOWN

@REM sleep 60 to wait for STREAM1 to touch LOCKFILE

@REM Create lock file so non STREAM1 streams wait for STREAM1 script to finish

@echo "STREAM_NUMBER%STREAM_NUMBER% populate LOCKFILE" >> %LOCKFILE%

@echo ">>>> STREAM_NUMBER = %STREAM_NUMBER% RUNNING 
C:\batch\NetBackup_Stop_Services.bat <<<<" >> %OUTFILE%

bpend_notify.POLICY_NAME script

@REM This bat script runs after the backup ends and can be used for starting
@REM virus checker, services, databases etc, etc.

@REM It works out how many streams there, and the last stream to complete.

@REM This script needs to be named in line with the POLICY for netbackup to 
recognise it.

@REM The bat script can be made schedule specific along the same lines of 
specific exclude lists
@REM eg bpend_notify.SRV999AP_BKUP.SCHEDULE.bat
