Thanks Ben but like I mentioned, my backups sometimes start at 7:00PM and
are still running the next morning when I come in! I am backing up 10+
servers to a tape library and I can't leave the service down for that long
of a time ....

How about you run an AT job with "net stop service" before your backup
starts
and then you run an AT job with "net start service" after retrospect is
done.
