No need to guess when its done ;)When IDrive is running a backup, it uses a process called idwutil_600.exe, so the script you run at 01:55 could stay running and monitor that process until it disappears.tasklist | findstr "idwutil_600.exe"will return errorlevel of zero if the task is not running, so you could loop until that happens (with some sort of pause*, to avoid too many resources being used), then continue the rest of the script and perform the after-backup tasks.* depending on your version of Windows, you should have the timeout command, which will pause for the number of seconds you specify as a parameter.
