Wake hibernating computer is this a security risk?

Thread needs solution

OS : Windows 7, I am the administrator
For scheduling options I am in the habit of selecting
• Wake hibernating computer
• Do not let computer hibernate.

Now I am wondering--Is this a security risk?
Will my screen saver and “Windows login” screen still be in place once the computer is “awake” and acronis is creating backups?

What are your suggestions?

This is a configurable option in Windows 7. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/10024-password-require-wakeup.html

If you have it enabled, when the computer wakes up to perform the backup, the password prompt would be still in place.
