Hi Erich.
Well, that is some idea. As it is probably relatively obvious, the
solution has to be simple so I can tell my wife "click here" an that's
it. Maybe I should do a script that would turn the service on/of.
Thanks for the hint.

Hi Spadajspadaj,
maybe a hacky solution, but would work: only start the fd on the
laptop, when you want to run a backup? (Or auto-start it, when the
laptop is up for >2h and no video conference software was started, etc.?)
regards,
Erich
