Stopping Backup Exec services

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
Stop Services lets you stop Backup Exec services remotely on any Backup Exec server that appears in the Backup Exec Utility.
When you stop services on a clustered Backup Exec server, you take the entire Backup Exec cluster group offline. To bring the entire group online again, you must restart the services by using the Start Services option.
