You could try modifying backuppc in such a way that it sets the spin-down time to 5 mins (or less) when it starts, and back to 20 mins (or whatever number) at the end of the wake-up script. Alternatively, if the disks are spinned down most of the time anyway, just add a spin-down-command at the end of the script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
