Scheduled backup task for "On System Shutdown"
Good day!
Have a PC running 11.5 Agent for Windows [build 11.5.43759]
Is it possible to start as task on System Shutdown but NOT ON SYSTEM RESTART?
Related question: If I choose to start the backup "When Logging Off", will it start if a RESTART or SHUTDOWN command is issued from WITHIN the user account [as in, they don't log off they just rebooted?]
Ideally, I want this PC to be backed up when the user shuts if off, but if he has to reboot during the day I do NOT want the backup job to run for 3 hours before he can get back in!
Thank you all!

Hello Kara,
We don't have a built-in function that differentiates between shutdown and restart.
One possible solution (please note that I haven't tested this) to your request is to use built-in Windows "on shutdown" functionality to launch a backup script.
You can learn how to create a backup script (or launch an existing task via script) in our command-line reference.

I'm running on Acronis Advanced Backup version 11.7 and backup does not start at system shutdown.
Do you guys have the same issue and did you got resolved? If you got it solved, what have you done to resolve?
Thanks in advance,
