The Shutdown.BAT File

I described this earlier.

Title %0 - Shut down the computer system
:: ShutDown.exe -r -t 30
:: ShutDown.exe -s -t 30

If you remove the double-colons from the first command, then your computer will re-boot after the backup process is complete.

If you remove the double-colons from the second command, then your computer will power down after the backup process is complete.
