Langmeier Backup FAQ

In certain scenarios, it is advisable to stop a Windows service before initiating a backup, and then restart it once the backup process is complete. With Langmeier Backup, this procedure can be implemented quickly and efficiently.

To accomplish this, please use the following batch commands:

net stop "service name"
net start "service name"

Examples

To stop the Server service:

net stop "server"

To start the Message service:

net start "Message service"

Please save these batch commands using the Windows Editor in a file with the .bat extension. Next, navigate to Options → Settings for this task in Langmeier Backup and specify the file path of the batch file you have just created in the Before backup → Execute script section. To ensure the service is restarted after the backup, create a separate batch file and select it under After backup → Execute script.

By following these steps, you can automate the management of Windows services during your backup routines, ensuring data integrity and minimizing downtime.
