'Wake up the sleeping/hibernating computer' menu option missing on Build 6514

Thread needs solution

I'm trying to set up a daily scheduled data backup from Windows 8 professional to my Synology 213+ NAS but have no menu option within Scheduler Advanced settings .

Any thoughts on how I get this option to appear (I've already tried a repair install)?

Martin,

I have a feeling that this option might be disabled for W8 systems. I've just reinstalled my W8 system, so will check it out for you.

Just a thought, is hibernation enabled on your system?

Make sure you have "wake timers" enabled in the power options, change plan settings, change advanced power settings options.

Thank you guys.

Embarrassingly, Pat is quite right, now I've enable 'wake timers' I have the menu option available.

Next up I had to overcome the resultant refusal for the computer to hibernate - now achieved.

Fingers crossed Acronis will now wake my computer, and backup to my NAS!

Thanks aagain, Martin

Hi Colin and Pat

I have "wake timers" enabled on my computer but no "wake sleeping computer option" in advanced settings. I set backups for early am but it does not back up then. Only backs up when I wake up the computer. My hibernate is set to never is that correct. Hope you help. Thankyou
