According to this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg12947.ht ml VSS works on XP Home. You can download vshadow.exe and try it yourself to make sure.
I have implemented wakeonlan and shutdown with BackupPC using the method in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01419.ht ml See this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13504.ht ml for some issues I ran into with wakeonlan. The short story is that you need to configure BackupPC to wake up only once per day, in order for wakeonlan to work in a reasonable manner.

Thank you so much Jeffrey > for sharing it! Is it possible to do VSS on XP Home? I have a location that I'd like to do VSS and getting them upgraded to something better has been/is going to be a long process. I'd also like to add a wake on lan and shutdown to the process, is that doable? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
