Cyber Protect Home Office won't wake Window 11 to perform backups

I am running Cyber Protect Home Office, Build 39703. I have a backup set to run at 4:17 in the morning on my Windows 11 SurfaceBook3 laptop. It never wakes up to run the backup. If I start the backup and replication manually, it stops as soon as the laptop goes to sleep.

Is there a fix for this, other than not allowing my laptop to go to sleep?

Robert, welcome to these public User Forums.

There are two separate but related issues at work here in your issue.

You need to enable wake up timers in the Power options in order to have the laptop be woken up to run any scheduled tasks.

See webpage: How to Enable or Disable to Allow Wake Timers in Windows 10

You need to change the Advanced options of your backup tasks to prevent the laptop from stopping any active task when the laptop tries to go to sleep.
