Wake from sleep does not work

Thread needs solution

I have enabled "Wakeup the sleeping/hibernating computer" but my machine does not wake up to do the TI backup. Windows 7 backup did wake the same machine fine.

TI always had such scheduling problems. Because of these I moved away from TI to Windows 7 Backup years ago. Now I evaluate TI again, only to find the scheduling problems still unsolved.

I am using Windows 8.1 and TI 2014 Build # 6614.

As a workaround I created a Windows Scheduled task to schedule the TI backup. This does wake the machine fine.

To do this:

* in TI I disabled the schedule of the backup

* in TI I determined the command-line via right-click on the backup, More, Create Shortcut.
The shortcut gets created on the desktop. Via properties one can see the command-line.

* in Windows created a Windows Scheduled Task with
Action: the command-line mentioned above
General: "Run whether user is logged on or not"
Condition: "Wake the computer..."

This is a workaround only, not a clean solution: To properly work as a Scheduled Task TI backup should implement ITaskhandler.Stop to pause backing up at Windows shutdown, otherwise it will simply be killed. I assume TI does not implement this interface.
