How to create batch files to stop and start SEP, which can be used like pre and post during backups?
I tried using "net stop service and start", but looks like these services are protected by some another service etc.
Thanks in advance

HI,
You can disable Tamper Protection after you will be able to disable SEP service.
Thanks In Advance

Check the log. See if tamper protection is blocking it.

Gnenerally speaking, you'd want to use the below commands to stop/start SEP:
smc -stop
smc -start
The "SMC" executable itself is normally located in "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection".
On a related note, have you been through the below Backup related articles?
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH168940
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH105418
These are both specifically related to Backup Exec (which is what I assume you're using given your profile name
)

If the client has a password on it to stop the service, you will need to include -p <password> as well

This is great, Thanks :)
I use PSEXEC to remotely restart SEP on a client.
