Hi,

There will be some construction performed at my office in a few days and I would like to setup my servers to automatically shut down after the backup completes (about 3 AM). Does anyone know of a way?

Thanks a lot

You can use the command line shutdown command in a batch file and schedule it with windows scheduler. Works well for me.
 
in this instance, I'd suggest putting the shutdown command in the script to run after completion line if you are using anything other than ntbackup.
