TI Backups

Thread solved

I do my backups of an evening when I'm not at my PC. Some times the PC goes to sleep while the backup is running and then starts again when I wake the PC up.

Is it OK to do the backups during the day when the PC rarely gets chance to go to sleep?

Mike, for your backup task, open the Options on the Scheduler page and then expand the Advanced options lower down where there is an option to not allow your PC to go to sleep while the backup is running!

Thanks Steve.

Just checked and the boxes were already ticked the same as those in your screenshot, the only different thing is the delay setting. Mine shows 0 where your shot shows 10.

Mike, try downloading a copy of the Nirsoft utility https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/computer_turned_on_times.html which can generate a list of what events are happening to cause the computer to sleep, hibernate etc.
