Activity indication in windows notification area plus option to shut down PC after the present backup/backup Q has finished
Justification: I run a NAS, on 24/7. I have various backups sced for my PC (daily at 20:00, Weekly Monday's at midnight, Monthly Xth day of month at 01:00, etc.), some backup to my NAS, others to a dedicated HDD in the PC. My backup timetable was based on my running the PC 24/7 too, but with the cost of energy so high I've stopped that (that 180W of power is ~ £315/yr these days!). Consequently, when I power the PC back on it will invoke the back-ups it could not do while off, fair enough, that's what I want. So now if I use the PC for a spell and want to shut it off I have to open Acronis to see what's going on before shutting down:
1. Can running backups be shown in the notification area so I know not to turn off the PC if a backup is still in progress so I know not to shut it down?
2. Can the option be added to the notification dialog (in (1) to shut the PC down after completion of the outstanding backup(s) and/or verifications (yes, I sced an occasional verification too!) so I don't have to keep checking if it's safe to shut the PC down?
