IWbemBackupRestoreEx::Pause method (wbemcli.h)

  • Article

The IWbemBackupRestoreEx::Pause method locks out write operations from the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) repository, and may cause read operations to be blocked.

Syntax

HRESULT Pause();

Return value

This method returns an HRESULT that indicates the status of a method call. The following list lists the values contained within an HRESULT.

Remarks

When implementing the Pause method, the Resume method should be called as soon as possible. If Resume is not called within fifteen (15) minutes, it is called automatically for you. Calling Pause two times on the same object without calling Resume first will fail. Calling Pause on two objects at the same time may cause the second object to lock up until Resume is called on the first object.

Note  To implement the Pause method, the client user must have SE_BACKUP_NAME prior to calling the method.
 

Examples

The following C++ example shows how to correctly call the IWbemBackupRestoreEx::Pause method.

// The pInt variable is of type IWbemBackupRestoreEx*
pInt->Pause();
