Funnily enough, I put something like this together just tonight -- I altered the original script to save the state of the machine (i.e., already on or off before the backup started) and then return it to that state in a postcmd. The latter part is a fairly trivial addition to the scripts I use to invoke shadow copies ... I'll provide details (and scripts) if anybody's interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
