I have a post-backup task set to put the PC into sleep mode. While the backup is running in the background and I am using the PC, I'm sometimes caught unaware that it is starting to sleep. Then I need to wake it up to continue my work.
This isn't the end of the world, but it would be nice if I could be alerted that it's about to happen with the option to stop it.
Suggestion: Implement a post-back-up task to display an alert to users that the PC is to enter sleep mode in (say) 30 seconds. Provide an option to cancel the sleep mode and continue using the PC.
The alert could be the first post-backup task ahead of the shutdown task as the second. The action of accepting the alert could allow the shutdown to proceed or be canceled, with the default to proceed if no user response within 30 seconds. The same function could be used for PC sleep or shutdown.
Anyway, this is only a suggestion to improve the user experience; a "nice to have".
Thanks.
