David,
Retrospect 5.1 for Windows ships with an external batch script that will
stop Exchange services automatically before backup of Exchange databases,
then start them up after the backup is done.
If you're savvy enough in this area, I suspect that you can tweak this same
batch file to stop SQL's services before backup as well, then restart them
after it's done.
Because of the complexities of external scripting, I'm afraid Dantz can
provide only minimal technical support for these features. See Addendum II
of the Retrospect User's Guide Addendum that ships with 5.1 for information
on setting up these external scripts.
