can be ensured by executing batch files or scripts that pause the appropriate Windows

services and automatically resume them after data capture.

An example of a batch file, suspending the Windows services for MS Exchange:

net stop msexchangesa /y /y

net stop “Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine”

An example of a batch file, resuming the Windows services for MS Exchange:

net start “Microsoft Exchange System Attendant”

net start “Microsoft Exchange Event”

net start “Microsoft Exchange IMAP4”

net start “Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks”

net start “Microsoft Exchange POP3”

net start “Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine”

Create batch files in any text editor (for example, name it

pause_services.bat

and

resume_services.bat

). Use Edit buttons to the right of Before data capture command

and After data capture command fields, to open the Edit Command window where

you can browse folders to find the respective batch files or scripts. A single command can

be specified in the same window along with its arguments and working directory.

It is critical to note that these commands, as opposed to Pre/post commands above,

will be executed before and after the

data capture

process, which takes seconds, while

the entire backup procedure may take much longer, depending on the amount of data to

be imaged. Therefore, the database idle time will be minimal.

Before/after data capture commands can also be used for other purposes, especially

if VSS support is enabled. You may want to suspend an application other than a database,

for example. The commands execution and the VSS actions will be sequenced as follows:

“before” commands -> VSS Suspend -> data capture -> VSS Resume -> “after”

commands.

The backup process will run concurrently with your commands if you uncheck the Do not

perform operations until the commands execution is complete box, which is

checked by default.
