Can Windows 2000 (server) - configured as a workgroup server be configured
to disallow users connection to shares during a certain time interval
dedicated for backup? If yes can you show me how..

Thanks,

JJOe
 
Use a batch file to stop the Server service, run the backup program, then
re-start the Server service. Alternatively, if backup won't run from a
batch file, you could use Task Scheduler to schedule a stop and start for
the Server service, or get a backup program that will back up files even if
in use.

Hi Richard,

I really appreciate your advice on this. It worked!!

Basically I went into the scheduler service and set up two Scheduled tasks:

1. net stop server /y
2. net start server /y

I have scheduled these services to stop and start during the interval of the
backup. I have scheduled Nero to backup the data during this interval.
I have done a test run - and it works like a charm.

Thank you very much for your help.
