Auto-shutdown Feature?

Post by demitch256 »

Any thoughts as to implementing an optional auto shut down feature for unattended backups? I've been looking for a program that features this ability, but the ones that I have tried didn't seem to fit my needs. I've just recently purchased a 160 GB external hard drive which, I've partitioned into three logical volumes. I want to be able to either start or schedule backups of my C and D drives to my external drive while I am at work, and have the PC shut down immediatly after completion of the backup. Any thoughts on this?

Closing the PC after a backup.

We may leave this option separate from AISBackup using the AISCloseWindows in the post run job option we have discussed in the Support Forum.

There is a wonderful program called wizmo available from www.grc.com

among it's many features is the ability to shutdown a computer.

so if you run that as a "post job" command, you could shutdown the computer after your job finishes.

IMHO, wizmo is worth having even if it does not fit this particular need.

Auto-shutdown

Beta 2.1, soon to be uploaded as pre-release 2.1, has a built in auto-shutdown, or better in my humble opinion, hibernate option.
