Hi All,
I am trialing a lot of backup software and FBackup is currently at the top of my list. I like to run my backups manually to make sure everything open in other programs is saved before the back up. I'd like FBackup to just close itself when it is done.
Questions:
Does one of the options in "Properties > Advanced > Run action after backup > Run program or action" just close down FBackup?
If so, which one? I don't want to auto-shut-down windows, just FBackup.
If not could it be a request for inclusion?
Thanks
HM
Auto Close not Auto Shut down

Thanks but it is a little more complicated than that. It's not the starting I am interested in, it is the closing.
On my D: drive before I run FBackup, I need to shut down some apps that are running with locked files as I do NOT want then backed up open, with the Shadow Copy.
I have written a wrapper app for FBackup that closes my list of apps, then runs FBackup and when I close FBackup, it restarts the list of apps again.
It all works just fine and now the only human intervention needed is to close FBackup when it has finished. IF I could have FBackup auto-close itself then life would be perfect.
Here's a screen shot...
