pre/post batch script.

[screenburn]

Hi,
I am using NetBackup 6.5 on windows 2003 server. I have installed the customized application on Windows server (other than the master backup server) I would like to stop the services before the backup and start the application after backup.
 
I know that scripts bpstart_notify and bpend_notify  are available, but I am really confused to use it.
 
I have made one batch file on the client side to start and stop the services. How can I integrate the batch file on the client side so that my NetBackup server can start/stop the application services?

Regards/Maged.

Copy the bat file to the client (in [install_path]\netbackup\bin ) and call it bpstart_notify.bat. Netbackup will then call the script when ever a backup start  (bpstart_notify) or end (bpend_notify.bat). You can also control what policy should run the script by adding a policy name to the script name (see tech note).
