Is it possible and witch version of Acronis. Wake PC, backup and power off.

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I would like to backup my workstation (Windows 7, single ssd) to shared NAS folder. My scenario is:

PC wake up a 2am, make backup and power off.

I am testing now trial version of Acronis Backup PC. But I don't see wake on lan
option, and also power off option. When I power on machine manual, or using bios or router wol backup start but after I manual login to pc.

Should I buy Acronis Backup PC or Acronis Backup PC Advance or Acronis True Image 2014 Premium to achieve this scenario?

Wake-on-lan option is available only when you create centralized backup plan from Management Server because there must be some other computer online to send the WOL packet. There is 'on startup' option in backup schedule dialog, If you select 'custom' scheme you can additionally specify condition - 'when fits time interval' set e.g. from 2 AM to 2:15 AM . In post-backup command (specifien in backup options) specify a command to shutdown the computer. If you can wake machine by some other means (windows scheduler or WOL) it will do the trick.
