With our new emphasis on saving power and going "green" people are setting tmachines to go to sleep after much shorter times. I would have thought that the cpu and/or disk activity would prevent power management from putting the pc to sleep. However, there must be significant idle time in some of these backups. My idle timeout is 90 minutes on the server. What are folks doing to prevent sleeping? Gary Lee Senior System Programmer Ball State University phone: 765-285-1310
