The tool is ZWC. So I shouldn't use amanda then?

Subject: ZWC Pre/Post scripting
ZWC Version: 2.6.4p1
amanda server: 2.6.0p2
I'm using ZWC to backup a windows server that runs MS SQL Server 2005.
MS SQL Server 2005 runs it's own in-built task to create database
backup
files and then ZWC picks those up for delivery to the amanda server
running on a remote linux machine.
We've just discovered that (due to a Microsoft bug with the way the
SQL
Server Writer service interacts with a 'backup tool') the backups get
corrupted and aren't recoverable. The Microsoft recommended workaround
is to stop the SQL Server Writer service before running the 'backup
tool' (see here for more details:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937683/en-us)
Does ZWC have pre/post scripting capabilities to do this?
Regards,
Tom
