Hmm. Not sure I follow 100%.

This machine never sleeps. It's up 24/7. When I'm not using it, I have Energy Saver sleep the SCREEN after 15 mins and a screensaver kicks in (standard, one of OS X's) and have the screensaver require a password to leave the screensaver and get back to the desktop. No 'wake' ever took place aside from the LCD screen.

So will SuperDuper kick off a backup while the pwd-protected screensaver is running (and the machine is not asleep)? Also - in this scenario, would it cause the monitor to wake and illuminate when running? Tnx.
