I have a backup job where before the backup runs, I would like to stop a windows service and then after the backup is complete start the windows service. What have others done that is reliable?
[reply=“FTINC;d1900”] Why not use the Pre and Post actions to stop and start the service.
I can use the pre/post actions, but what if there is a better way that I am not familiar with?
[reply=“FTINC;6876”] That would be our recommended method as it’s coordinated with the backup, restoring the service when the backup completes. Let us know what method you decide.
