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?

No, it won't. See the User's Guide section on scheduling for a discussion and what to do...

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 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?

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?

Is there a reason 1 minute is preferable to 5 minutes, aside from the tiny power savings?

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.

Dave -- Please include this tidbit of info in the manual next time you revise it. Curious people want to know!

Thanks,

Dave P.

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