I use Macrium Reflect Free for image backups after hours. The program has a "wake computer to run" option. However, I have found that it does not work, apparently because the computer stays asleep. I have also tried all sorts of scripts (many are recommended on line) to run from Scheduler prior to the scheduled backup hour, none accomplishes the task, the backup program simply does not run.
The only certain way to avoid this problem is tov use the "never sleep" setting in Power Options, then Macrium runs unfailingly every time.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a script which is "strong enough" to actually wake the machine prior to running the backup. As I said before I've tried many of those recommended, none works!
All suggestions appreciated.
