Norton Ghost Automation Backup: Stop services first before doing backup
Hi,
We would like to automate backing up of files using norton but some of the files are being used by a service or a server because we are currently using the computer as a server and we need the server files to be backed up but the services needs to be stopped first before doing the backup. What we would like to ask if there is a way for Norton Ghost to stop the services first before doing the backup so we do not need to stop the services manually. Is this possible? If it is, can anyone give the instruction on how to do it? we want to automate backup from stopping the service for the server and then backing up the files and start the service again.
Thanks.

Other options are to use the Net stop commands in a batch file before calling ghost.

Can these net stop batch file be automated or run inside Norton ghost? if so, how?
