Mirco, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. In fact we use the PreDumpUserCmd to lock the backed-up machines to disable shutdown while the backup is in progress. You are right, it will work. Though IMHO it is an "unpretty" workaround :-) , especially because the PreDumpUserCmd does not support multiple commands and everything must but put to scripts instead.
