We will tell FBackup to run this command after the last backup in your group (I'm assuming they always backup in the same order). So, what I propose is to create our own command that will delay for 10 seconds and then shutdown. Perusing the FBackup documentation, I see that there is a way to specify a command to run after a backup.

And thanks to you, I learned something about command lines. I can live without the countdown timer, but it is nice to have the ability to abort shutdown.

With this new Shortcut, the program itself does not open (or is just not visible), the Command Prompt window opens instead, progress of each of the 5 backup jobs is shown in DOS within the Command Prompt window, then the PC shuts down immediately following the last backup job with no 10 second countdown to shutdown.Ĭan you think of any way to prevent the Command Prompt window from opening? Even better would be the FBackup program opening and showing the backup progress. See Below), and finally shuts down the PC. The original link opens the program, shows the progress of each of the 5 individual backup jobs, then opens a small 10 second countdown window to computer shutdown (which gives you an opportunity to abort shutdown. It operates a bit differently than starting "My Backup Jobs" from the link shown in my 1st post. By opening the cmd window ourselves and running the command we want to try, the window will stay open to allow us to view any errors that may be produced. Technote: When you double-click the shortcut to run fbacmd with no parameters it doesn't have anything to do so the cmd window opens briefly and then closes. If we're lucky, it will do exactly what we want with no errors. If our command isn't quite right, the program should kick out some error message that will point us in the right direction. A way to test it and see if any errors are returned it to open a cmd window and type the exact command we want the shortcut to execute: Now whether this does what we want or not is uncertain. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Softland\FBackup 4\fbacmd.exe" /g Group Your shortcut's "Location" field should be (include the quotes): I'm glad we're making progress! I don't know if I followed you exactly, so let me say what I think the next steps should be. Unfortunately, since I'm not familiar with this program, I can't give you guidance beyond this point.

I would guess that the command would look something like: fbacmd /g Downloads The default backup group is: My backup jobsSo what you would want to do is create a shortcut and when it asks for the location of the item, browse to fbacmd.exe and add the appropriate parameters as shown above. g - execute the jobs in the backup group with their defined types (the switch is mandatory if you want to execute a backup group) t - starts the test operation for the named job. r - execute the backup with its defined type (this is the default behavior when the backup name is specified without switches) Switches that apply to this parameter (case insensitive, preceded by "/" or "-"): The ".ini" or ".fkc" file must exist in the specified path, the backup job must be defined in FBackup or otherwise the backup will not run.
