I just got myself an external hard drive, partitioned it in 2, and would like to use to back up my imac, and my wife's mini. Backing up my machine is simplicity itself, however my wife's machine is what I am wondering about. I am currently doing a full backup as a disk image (as specified in the pdf file that came with the download), and that's working. What I am wondering is, can an incremental backup process....

a) wake up the computer if it's asleep (optional, since there are other ways to do this)
b) log in to the other mac as a specific admin user
c) mount the specific partition
d) do an incremental backup to that disk image
e) unmount the drive

It's the ability to do the authentication as part of the scheduling process that I am wondering about, and can't find reliable assurance on. It's also something I will certainly want to make sure of before buying licenses of superduper.
