I am in the middle of my first backup, and noticed that the screen didn't go to sleep. Is this something that SD disables during it's backup? If so, will it be active again after the backup? I don't really want to go to sleep with the screen burning in, or maybe that's not going to happen anyway?

FWIW, I chose DO NOTHING after completion, because I didn't think it would take more than an hour to do. It's about 40% done with a little over an hour so far.
I don't like too much this idea to keep the screen burning in during the backups. Some backups take sometimes several hours and SD desable the screen saver.
I found a small application (freeware) which makes it possible to cover the screen of a black panel during the backups.
