Wake Up enabled every day for once a week backup

Thread needs solution

I have enable the ability to Wake Up the computer, Windows 7 64-bit, prior to running a Incremental backup every Friday. Now every morning when I get up, the computer is awake. Does anyone know how to have this feature active only on the day of the scheduled backup, instead of daily ?

Wake involves power management and most machines have two ways of doing this, the OS and the pc maker's code for power management.

I'd recheck the task settings. If you don't see an error there, then I'd move the existing backups somewhere safe and delete the existing task, then create a new one and see if prob persists.

The more common prob is getting the machine to wake and then run the back, which is why I suggest checking that all the task settings re correct.
