computer hibernates whilst backing up
I have two separate jobs backing up. ATI2020 app is not open. The backup goes on in the background. Whilst one is going, the other is on a queue, but my computer hibernates after a certain time if there is no activity. Why does the computer hibernate whilst ATI2020 is backing up in the background. Is there an option to keep the computer on. I just think hibernating might cause an error in backing up.

Hi Steve.
I have realised I have checked this option with all my backup schedules, so I do not know why my computer hibernates with the volume backup I mentioned.

You could try setting a Pre & Post Command for your backup tasks with the following commands:
PS D:\powershell> powercfg /h /?
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE <ON|OFF>
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE /SIZE <PERCENT_SIZE>
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE /TYPE <REDUCED|FULL>
Alias:
POWERCFG /HDescription:
Enables/disables the hibernate feature or sets the hiberfile size.Parameter List:
<ON|OFF> Enables/disables the hibernate feature./SIZE <PERCENT_SIZE> Specifies the desired hiberfile size as a percentage
of the total memory size. The default size cannot be
smaller than 40. This parameter will also cause
hibernate to be enabled./TYPE <REDUCED|FULL> Specifies the desired hiberfile type. A reduced
hiberfile only supports hiberboot.Examples:
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE OFFPOWERCFG /HIBERNATE /SIZE 100
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE /TYPE REDUCED
PS D:\powershell>
Example: set the Pre Command to be POWERCFG /HIBERNATE OFF and the Post Command to POWERCFG /HIBERNATE ON

I would use a similar approach to Steve's but with a little more force.
I have a power scheme called "Keep running" which basically never sleeps. I would use the pre and post commands to change the scheme to keep running and then back to the regular scheme.

Hi Steve.
I have tried out your latest solution, Pre & Post Command, and it works. Thank you very much. Thanks, Bruno for your advice.
