Backing Up a Windows Media Server

ID: Q245777

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Media Services versions 4.0, 4.1

SUMMARY

When you back up a Windows Media Server in order to back up the station configuration, you must stop the Windows Media Services.

MORE INFORMATION

In Control Panel Services, stop the following services:

Windows Media Monitor Service

Windows Media Program Service

Windows Media Station Service

Windows Media Unicast Service

This ensures that the configuration database for the services is not in use and locked. If you do not stop the services, the Mdsas.mdb file will not be backed up, because it is in use. This file is typically located in the C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Server\ASDB directory.
