I have a PC, which is used as backup server, running Windows 2000.
This PC is usually in hibernate, starting once a week to write its data =
to a scsi tape.

I configured the pc (windows energy options) to automatically enter =
hibernate after 1 hour, as there is no need that this machine is always =
up.

now there's no problem for the PC to start on a wake-up event from the =
scheduler, and it starts writing data to tape.

PROBLEM:

unfortunately, even if the pc is still writing data to tape, it enters =
hibernate after 1 hour, if I don't press any key or move the mouse.

obviously, writing data from disk to scsi is no recognized activity for =
windows to keep the PC alive.

does windows 2000 only register keyboard touches or mouse movements as =
activity?

how can I configure windows that is stays up, until no further data is =
copied from disk to scsi tape?

is there a workaround to get this job done?

thanx a lot!!
