That way the M$ machines got fresh reboots regularly (in a kind manner) and the nightly network tasks could do their thing (virus scans, update pushed software, and backups if needed). If worrying about power, let the machines go to 'sleep', but make sure that wakeup on lan is on and working. Just a suggestion.Well, this was just a test setup to see exactly what backuppc could do and how it needs to be configured. When I go home, everything goes off. Obviously the next step would be to simulate a production environment, for which your advise is very welcome.
Thanks, Erik
