The Sleep Topic (Again)

Thread needs solution

I downloaded and installed the ATI Home 2011 trial last week and I set up an Incremental backup with a full backup after six incrementals and this task is to run every morning at 1:00 AM. ATI runs this task on time most of the time but the problem is that it doesn't do it all the time and when it doesn't work I've noticed the Advanced Settings in the Schedule Your Operation dialog have been changed. Just this morning ATI should have performed the full backup but the Prevent The Computer From Sleeping During The Task option had become unchecked. I am 100% positive neither I nor anyone in the house unchecked this option so the program is doing it itself somehow. Has this been addressed in a update that just isn't available for the trial version? I'd like to buy the product but this could be enough to keep me from doing so.

Bob,
What you see is what you get. The only difference between the trial and the buy is the absence of a license.

There are several postings on the forum regarding this issue if you wish to check further.

One possible alternative is my solution as listed in this posting if you are using Windows 7.
