I'm confused here a bit. My clients only get asked at the beginning of the backup. Not per folder. Once the backup starts, it's backing up until they cancel or it finishes. Several of the people like to shut down their Macs at night, so they choose Shutdown and leave it at the Retrospect sh

I don't know if this will work for you but it did for me. I also have a small number of laptops in my backup routine (12 PowerBook G3's) So I set up a separate script that attempts a backup at lunch everyday. They can defer if they are working through lunch. I only back up their preferences folder
