Using backup exec to backup ghost server

[AKENG]

One of the pc's that we're using veritas backup exec 9.1 to backup now has ghost server suite 1.1 installed on it (recently upgraded).  When running a backup, I get an error message:

Unable to open the item C:\Program Files\Symantec\Ghost\db\SYMANTECGHOST.DB - skipped

This scheduled backup has been run multiple times/days.  Do we need to purchase an additional database module to back this up?  We currently have the sql one.  Thanks.

I'd say that you probably need to setup a Pre and Post command to stop/start the Ghost service on the workstation to get that file

Thanks for the suggestion.  Between that and the forum posting: https://forums.symantec.com/syment/board/message?board.id=109&message.id=62&query.id=4887#M62

I was able to write a quick batch file to simply "net stop ngserver".

I don't know why I didn't put the idea together sooner myself, I guess I was just stuck on the database module thing.
