I just tried v. 2009 (12/08/09) but decided to uninstall. I installed AutoExit to investigate problems with WHS backup but now now realise it does not use WOL. Which is just as well because none of the W7 machines I tried worked with WOL.

Also:
+ My WHS Console closed unexpectedly whilst I was using AutoExit,
+ I had an error message that aewhsserver.log could not be accessed as it was already in use,
+ aewhsserver.log appears to be encrypted (“…Zy0On+c1nP/DgNVXxn/Jq2bs/h796…”), which worried me a little.

So for peace of mind I uninstalled.

I’m unable to start a remote desktop session to a windows xp home computer. Is there something else I need to setup?

By default with WHS (without this add-in) your PC can sleep and the WHS will wake it up for backup. If you look at the WHS connector tray icon menu, there is a Wake for backup option just for that. So there is no reason to leave your PC ON all night. Let it sleep. It will wake-up for backup and go back to sleep.

Hi Mark,

Sorry, but at the moment this is not possible yet with the current version. (2009)

Cheers,
Nick

Maybe I am missing this and is it already there, but will the server automatically shut down the client after backup? That would be a great addition (or even better a selectable option)! Currently my pc is on all night, just for the backup, but could be shut down (or set to sleep or hibernate) after the backup is finished.
