Schedules: Unknown checkbox

Thread needs solution

Hello,
in the schedule dialog box there is a check box that is not explained in the help. It is labeled "Prevent the computer from going to sleep/hibernate" and you can see it here: http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ATIH2013/#7941.html

I wonder what it does. If I uncheck it, will the computer go to hibernate while doing a backup? Wouldn't make much sense...

Thorsten,

checking that box does the opposite of what you thought, it prevents the PC from going into hibernation or sleep mode, while a backup/image is taking place.

I would think having both boxes ticked would cause some interesting side effects.
