MySQL Service
Automated stopping and starting of the MySQL service is not important because backups can safely be done without stopping the MySQL service.  You would never restore directly to the live database location, so the backup service is not involved with the actual final move of the restored data to the live location.  All of the backup services are good at copying locked files. In the rare case that a locked file causes a failure, it should only affect that one file and should not be a major problem. When restoring a database using the data provided by your backup service, follow these general steps.
1. Restore to a new location (like C: estored files or to another machine), not to your live database on your server.
2. Stop the MySQL Service.
3. Make a manual local backup of your current database (if there is one still there).
4. Delete the current database.
5. Place the restored database in the location where your live data was.
6. Turn back on the MySQL service
