Hello yes, this is the program I'm using now! It's actually quite screen reader friendly.

I normally run my backups at the end of the day before turning in. What I do is start them out and when Replicator is finish the batch file shuts the system down. The other manner you could accomplish this task is to make a good guess as to when the job in question will be finished and set the system to shut itself down at or slightly after that time. If this is some interest to you let me know and I will give you further instructions.

I am coping some large files to an external drive. I do not want to wait until it is done for me to shut down, would like it to be automatic. I never leave without shutting down. A few years ago I was at my daughter’s home. We were all outside and there was a loud explosion. When we got into the home we found that the computer’s power supply exploded. At least there was no fire but what an ugly sound and smell. Just checked the copy has 28 minutes remaining. --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.
