I've installed MSDE SP3, and I'm looking for a script that runs once
before back-up to shut down the server, and once after backing-up, to
restart the server. This is supposed to go automatically. I'm running
Veritas Back_up Exec 9.0 (Without SQL extension... ).
Does anyone have an easy script for to run on my Win2k Server?

Posted via http://dbforums.comWhy do you want to shutdown the server, for creating a backup? The native
SQL Server BACKUP command is online and can backup databases that are
currently being accessed.
Are you trying to copy the physical files? If so, you may want to look at
NET STOP and NET START commands for stopping and starting services.

What hardware is your SQL Server running on?

Posted via http://dbforums.com|||do a simple .BAT file to stop SQL service before backup runs and another
.BAT file after backup done to start SQL service. You can place the path to
run these files into Backup Exec job. I never use MSDE so I ain't sure but
for SQL you can similar to this:
BEFORE.BAT
net stop mssqlserver
AFTER.BAT
net start mssqlserver
Are you trying to backup the .MDF and LDF files? I prefer using native SQL
backup tools to backup databases.

net stop mssql$test2 & net start msssql$test2 performed as expected,
(and the solution was rather simple; didn't think it would be
this easy...)
