Backup with mysql

Thread needs solution

Hello everyone,
ABR10 should I install on windows server 2008 web edition with mysql.
There are best practices to follow for this special edition of Windows? As for mysql just stop the service during backup and then start it again at the end?
thanks

As mysql is not VSS-aware, you need to use pre- and post- data capture commands to stop and restart the service.

Probably used in the sense that it doesn't interact with vss providers like MS SQL does - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175536.aspx , so when backup is performed without stopping the service, the database backed up may be inconsistent.
