Is there any commands to stop/start netbackup client services from master or media server without login into affected client?

You could try the backup end notify or if there are streams you can use the parent end notify file

As long as the service account used for the NBU Client service on the Master has rights then you can just run the services command to a remote server:

sc \\remoteservername stop servicename

Bear in mind you need to ping that down to the particular client and policy being run so you may need to add a line or two that says something to the effect of "if policy = policyname then sc \\  etc... where policy will use the variable passed to the command - they are all shown at the top of the scripts - %4 etc.)

Hope this helps
