Funnily enough, I put something like this together just tonight -- I
altered the original script to save the state of the machine (i.e.,
already on or off before the backup started) and then return it to that
state in a postcmd.

The latter part is a fairly trivial addition to the scripts I use to
invoke shadow copies ... I'll provide details (and scripts) if anybody's
interested.
