Action after backup

Lights-Out can run a shutdown or suspend on your client when the backup has been finished. 

You can use this feature in combination with the scheduled wake-up, a backup started by Lights-Out and a controlled shutdown or suspend of the client.

The Lights-Out service running on the Windows Home Server communicates with the client service and transmits the selected action after backup. 

This action is performed 3 minutes after the backup has been finished. When no user is logged in, the action is performed silently in the background. 

However, when a user is logged in, a dialog lis shows during the count down. The user can now interrupt the countdown for the selected action. 

 

When the 3 minutes have elapsed, the action is executed.

A similar functionality has been implemented by Xaverls Event Shutdown Service. Please uninstall this service before you use the new Lights-Out functionality.
