I agree with the other two who say you don't need to do this. Instead
obtain the Exchange Agent and back up the Information Store and Directory
objects, and exclude the C:\EXCHSRVR\*DATA directories from any file backup
you do.
But if for some weird reason you still think you need or want to do what you
asked, enter on the command line "NET STOP MSEXCHANGEIS /Y" to stop the
service, and the corresponding "NET START" command to restart it after the
backup.

Subject: How to stop information store before backup?
I am new to exchange and I am not sure how to do this.
I am running Exchange 5.5, SP4 on Nt4 SP6
I want to stop the information store before I make a backup of the priv and
the pub files. How can I do this? Is there a script file I can run?
I am using backup exec to backup my server.
Thanks
