How do you stop service 1

[gmath213]

I am using backup software that will not backup the exchange files while the service is running. I would like to stop the service over the weekend so I can back up those files. Anyone know which services I should be stopping?

Here's the batch file I used to use for offline backups:

net stop "FACSys Fax Connector (servername)"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange Event Service"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange Information Store"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange Directory"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange System Attendant"


and to startup again afterwards

net start "Microsoft Exchange System Attendant"
net start "Microsoft Exchange Directory"
net start "Microsoft Exchange Information Store"
net start "Microsoft Exchange Event Service"
net start "Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent"
net start "Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service"
net start "FACSys Fax Connector (servername)"

FACSys was obviously a particular app we used, if your machine doesn't run the IMS you don't need to use that line either.


Hope this helps

Thank you very much for the information David this solved all my problems so far. I am only doing this on the weekends when I do full backups right now. Is is safe to stop the service everynight?
