I am trying to shut down my indexing machine during backups but when I use timing loop to shut down at eg. 17:30 the machine will use all the "juice" for the timing loop and will not index?
Does anybody have a sample how to do this right?

Kauko,
You can place a 'hook' on the post-indexing process that will run a program after the indexes have been updated. This way, after it updates the indexes, your code will run. In your code, you can then check the time and take whatever actions are necessary.
Or, another option is in your timer, every x number of minutes, place a call to the system subroutine INDEX.FLUSH. This will force the system to process any index transactions.
As far as system utilization, the first process will be less intensive, but I would play around with them and see which works best for your environment.
