Stopping And Launching The Services In Windows Nt Sp6/2000/Xp During An Image File Creation - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE ENTERPRISE SERVER 8.0 User Manual

Restoring a disk (partition) from an image
5.11 Stopping and launching the services in Windows NT SP6/2000/XP
during an image file creation
A number of services in Windows, including mail and database servers, such as MS
Exchange or MS SQL Server, work with a plenty of constantly open files. Therefore
many system administrators prefer to end working process of the given services at
the backup moment (image file creation).
To solve this problem you have to create the batch files. Batch files help you to stop
the chosen services and then automatically launch them again directly in the Acronis
True Image Enterprise Server.
You will need to:
• create a batch file in any text editor (for example, name it 'stop_services.bat')
and write commands for stopping the necessary services in it, for example:
net stop msexchangesa /y /y
net stop "Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine"
• create a batch file for subsequently launching of the suspended services (for
example, name it 'start_services.bat'):
net start "Microsoft Exchange System Attendant"
net start "Microsoft Exchange Event"
net start "Microsoft Exchange IMAP4"
net start "Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks"
net start "Microsoft Exchange POP3"
net start "Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine"
• Check Enable support parameter from Tools → Options → Database
support
• Select 'stop_services.bat' file from Before data capture command field
• Select 'start_services.bat' file from After data capture command field
After that you can start an image file process, not being afraid of data non-
consistency will arise.
