Leopard, SuperDuper, Scheduling, Sleeping
Does anyone else have the FULL/PAID version of SuperDuper and Schedule your backups?
If yes, if your computer is sleeping, and the SuperDuper job is scheduled, will the computer (iMac) wake to perform the backup? I had mine scheduled last night, but my computer sleeps with 30 minutes of no activity, and I came back to the computer this morning and NO BACKUP Occurred! Help! Thoughts? M |
No, it won't. See the User's Guide section on scheduling for a discussion and what to do...

got it
thanks bro |
I do exactly this. Use Schedule in Power prefs to wake the machine, then 5 mins after waking have SD set to run and sleep computer on completion.
Works perfectly too, except for last night when it appears not to have run at all :confused: Gotta look in to that. |
You should actually set the wake event for 1 minute before the scheduled copy time...
|
I don't remember having to do this before... I thought SD would wake the Mac up itself to do the backup. Am I remembering wrong (wouldn't be the first time for that) or is there something different in Leopard that keeps SD from being able to wake up the Mac?
|
We never woke the Mac, Jeff...
|
Hm. Guess my machine wasn't actually sleeping, then... wonder why?
Guess that's the difference between a Mac and a PC. On a PC, things don't work, and you can't figure out why. On a Mac, things do work, and you can't figure out how... ;-) |
Why 1 minute, not 5?

Yes. The Mac will often go back to sleep very quickly after a wake because it doesn't see any activity, despite longer "sleep times" set in Energy Saver. 1 minute allows us to get going before it sleeps.

Thanks, Dave P. |
It's been there, Dave. It says to schedule the wake event a minute before the backup...
