Wake From sleep does not work ( I can select it in the options, and wakeOnLan works too )

Thread needs solution

Hi, my planed backup gets not executed when the Computer is at sleep

 

Here are my settings:

The scheduler works, and WakeOnLan works also.

 

Does anyone have an Idea what to do ?

My first thought would be reset the power settings to default in Windows and see if it makes a difference or not.

Alternatively, you could create your own Windows Scheduled task to wake the machine at a specific time (say 1 minute) before the regularly scheduled backup is set to occur.

***EDIT - make sure your power settings "sleep" options also ensure the following is enabled:

"Allow wake timers"
