What I want to know is what processes are shut down when I say "Shut 
Down" and it goes to the Retrospect shutdown dialog?

I mean, does it close all applications?

Does it kill any of the extension processes like clocks, screen savers, etc.?

Will it kill the Energy Saver process?  I mean, if the machine is 
set to shut down in the Energy Control panel at, say 10pm, and the 
backup starts up just before that, will it prevent the shutdown?

If the machine is set to startup at a certain time, but it never 
shut off and still has the Retrospect shutdown dialog, will it do 
anything at all?

One thing that is significant: it does not unmount server volumes. I 
have trained my users to trash them before shutdown.

The computer will not sleep if the "waiting for backup" screen is active.



matt barkdull submitted these questions, and the answers are important
to me, too -- I haven't seen a response yet -- can anyone help?

when 'Shut Down' is selected and Retrospect shutdown dialog comes up:
Will it kill the Energy Saver process?  I mean, if the machine is
set to shut down in the Energy Control panel at, say 10pm, and the
backup starts up just before that, will it prevent the shutdown?  

If the machine is set to startup at a certain time, but it never
shut off and still has the Retrospect shutdown dialog, will it do
anything at all?  

I'm not in a position to run even a small test on this for myself 'cuz
my backup disc is blown and I'm in process of obtaining new one ... but
would like to get an answer to this question before its immediacy fades
into the past -- wch happens QUICKLY, nowadays ...

thanks kindly,

 - ilyes
