I are trying to backup a SQL database using multiple streams. I can
shutdown the database using bpstart_notify.bat, both streams kick off
and run, however when one stream finishes  it restarts the database
using the bpend_notify.bat script... This of course makes my backups
useless.

bpstart_notify.bat:
net stop MSSQLSERVER /y

bpend_notify.bat
net start SQLSERVERAGENT

I know that in unix you can set lock files until all streams are
finished, however I have been told by Veritas that you can't do this
in windows??? My only other option is to only present one stream,
which would take entirely to long to backup...

Thanx in advance for any help that you can provide.

Fritz
