We're using Backup Exec 10d's Pre and Post Command settings to stop our database server service before running our nightly backup, and then restart it when the backup is complete. Our offices are open Monday-Thursday, so we don't run backups Friday nights.
This Monday morning our database server service was not running. Checking the logs, I discovered that the service was stopped on Friday at 11:00pm, which is the precise time that our backups run M-Th. It appears that Backup Exec ran the "Pre-Command" on Friday, even though no backup was scheduled, but never did run the "Post-Command", leaving our database service down. Is this possible? I just don't have any other explaination for this happening.
Thanks,
Mike
