Mirco,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. In fact we use the PreDumpUserCmd to
lock the backed-up machines to disable shutdown while the backup is in
progress. You are right, it will work. Though IMHO it is an "unpretty"
workaround :-) , especially because the PreDumpUserCmd does not support
multiple commands and everything must but put to scripts instead.

Thanks,

Pavel.
