Is Acronis True Image an 'Important wakeup timer' ?

Thread needs solution

In Windows 10, in power settings, you can set set how wake up timers should be handled.

Previously you could only choose 'Enable' or 'Disable', but in Windows 10, there's a third setting:

'Only important wake up timers'.

I'm not sure which timers are 'important'.

But I want to know if Acronis is such an important timer, I want to be sure it runs as scheduled.

Does anybody know that?

Hi Poul,

I'm not sure about important wake up timers list in Windows 10, however, you can achieve your goal even more easily.

It will be enough to user relevant settings in Acronis True Image backup options:

Wake up the sleeping/hibernating computer

Thank you,

There is not a lot of info about Win 10 Important Wake Timers.  From what I read I gather that these are mostly Windows tasks such as Maintenence tasks like Windows update to run at the default 0300.   I would presume that this feature would not effect True Image in performing a scheduled task which has the wake up computer option enabled.
