So, in your setup you have all local accounts for your desktops and laptops? There is no server storage using used as a Roaming Profile or Redirected Folders?
If that's the case, I think the only solution you will find is a client-server backup solution. When the client is running on the desktop, it should (I would think) prevent the machine from going to sleep/hibernate. I don't know anything about Netbackup, so it might not have this option. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Miguel Gonzalez [mailto:miguel_3_gonza...@yahoo.es] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysad...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:50:41 -0800 Subject: power options and users > Hi all, > > We are running Netbackup as our backup solution.
