Ture image 2018 wakes up my PC.

Thread needs solution

I have scheduled backup. Sometimes I want to sleep my PC, and not being woke up by the scheduled backup. However I don't want to change my schedule. How to only disable the waking up?

Check your Advanced Schedule settings and untick the option to "Prevent the computer from going to sleep/hibernate" along with unticking the option to "Wake up the sleeping/hibernating computer"

See the ATI 2018 User Guide: Advanced settings

Clicking Advanced settings allows you to specify the following additional settings for backup and validation:

  • To postpone a scheduled operation until the next time the computer is not in use (a screen saver is displayed or computer is locked), select the Run the backup only when the computer is idle check box. If you schedule validation, the check box will change to Run the validation only when the computer is idle.
  • 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.
  • When a backup takes a long time, it may be interrupted if the computer goes into sleep or hibernation mode. To eliminate this situation, select the Prevent the computer from going to sleep/hibernate check box.
