Solution #00005868
Scope:
This solution applies to Barracuda Backup Service, firmware version 4.1 and above.
Agent Backup only.
Answer:
In the 4.1 firmware, there exists the option to run pre and post Agent backup commands, by editing the bbconfig.ini file.
This will enable you to stop and start certain processes on the host computer that has the Agent installed on it. This can allow you to stop conflicting processes only during the time that the Agent is backing up files.
If you want to automatically stop a specific process before starting the backup job, you can specify the batch file to stop the service. In a similar way, if you want to automatically start a specific process after completing the backup job, you can specify the batch file to start the service.
It should be noted that if the pre-backup batch commands fail, this may cause the backup to not run.

# the batch file to start the process
