steffi Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Is this option still provided? I remember it being in 6.x where you could tell your computer to sleep at the end of the backup job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 No you do not have that setting in 8.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baweeks Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Is it planned to add the functionality of Retro 8 sleeping, logging out, restarting, running an applescript or automator action, after the last script is run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysykes Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yes, that would be a killer feature. It would be great to trigger a shutdown on the client after backup is done. There was that script for R6 but it was a real hack job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsctech Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I second that. I am using wake-on-lan to wake the machines to back them up. It would be great to put them back to sleep right after the backup rather than wait for the 2 hour timeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 There was that script for R6 but it was a real hack job. Um, it was a rather simple Python script, and is rather trivial to modify to support the R8 client. Yes, it might be better to put that support in the client itself. It would be great to put them back to sleep right after the backup rather than wait for the 2 hour timeout. Again, its a rather trivial modification to that old script to support the R8 client.

otrachsel Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yes, we use this script since quiet a few years now. Just some modifications necessary for our purposes and change from crontab to system starter jobs. But is running very well. I assume it won´t be a big deal to modify for R8, though having it inside would be easier. But I would prefer having 8.x as stable as 6.1 before adding such features.
