Scheduling a Backup After MacBook Goes to Sleep
Hi.
I've scheduled a Smart backup to external usb-3 drive for 9:30pm m-f. The Problem is that the MacBook (OS X 10.11.6) has gone to sleep by that time and the backup doesn't run. What's the best way to backup at this time automatically? Thank you, Matt |
Hi, Matt. As I explain in the Scheduling section of the User's Guide, set a wake event for *one* minute before the scheduled copy time. That should do it!
(Don't close the cover, either.) Hope that helps! |
Hi, Dave.
Thanks. Looks like that should do the trick. I don't like leaving the lid open and plugged in ('Wake' says it requires device to be plugged in). Is that hard on the battery, leaving it plugged in? Matt |
It shouldn't be terribly hard on the battery, no.
