    Also confirm what the backup setting require?

    In the server setting avail

    Backup Server- Server Name

    Backup path:         C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\backup

    Backup Log- Unchecked

    Number of Backup Keep - 2

    Schedule setting - unchecked

    no services need to be stopped while taking backup..

    The backup settings under SEPM will decide how many backups it need to keep and when to start the backup ( scheduling).

    To schedule automatic database backups

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO55465

    1. In the console, click Admin, and then click Servers.

    2. Under Servers, click the icon that represents the database that you want to back up.

    3. Under Tasks, click Edit Database Properties.

    4. In the Database Properties dialog box, on the Backup Settings tab, do the following tasks.

      • In the Backup server drop-down list, specify on which management server you want to save the backup.

      • Check Back up logs if you need to save a copy of the logs for security purposes or company policy.

        Otherwise, leave this option disabled, as logs use a lot of disk space.

      • Specify the number of backups if your company policy requires it.

    5. Make sure Schedule Backups is checked, and set the schedule.

    6. Click OK.

    Backup should take about 1 hour for 1000 clients.

    Dont forget to write cipher passwords on paper and put it in safe, also you need to backup keystorepass, DomainID, IP address of server, Site name.

    It depends upon the database

    Stop the Symantec Manager services before you start to take a backup of the database.
