@2Shirt Hmm
I like preserving drives. First thought is that we'd potentially lose information useful to why it stopped. I might be able to send a power off signal to the drive so it isn't spinning all night

That's a good idea. I figured if there were drives you thought were particularly precarious you could enable it for special situations, otherwise proceed as normal.

I thought of a potential feature that might be useful to add to wizkit. When starting the a win+d diagnostic or starting a win+c clone process, there could be a toggleable option for the system to shut itself down after a default amount of time after a process has completed or errored out. That way if a clone you start before leaving for the night errors out or diagnostics complete the system powers off and logs any results. Thus hopefully preserving any failing drives as best as possible. @2Shirt Hmm I like preserving drives. First thought is that we'd potentially lose information useful to why it stopped.
