Will backup run when my PC is in sleep mode?

Thread needs solution

Hi there

I have set up a monthly data backup using Acronis TruImage 2014 on a Windows 10 PC. I have scheduled the backup to run @12am in the first day of each month. Will Acronis run the backup whilst my PC is in sleep mode? Is therer any setting I should set to allow this to happen?

If configured correctly, it should. This is from the 2016 user manual, but should still apply:

  • If you want to wake up the sleeping/hibernating computer to perform the scheduled operation, select the Wake up the sleeping/hibernating computer check box.

There's a screenshot in the link above 

See http://www.acronis.com/en-gb/support/documentation/ATIH2014/#7941.html for the ATIH 2014 manual page for the same option.

Ok, the advanced setting in the scheduling weren't showing so I missed that. I knew it would be something straight forward. Thanks everyone.
