I set the wake up time to 3:02 and left SD to auto-run at 3:03. Still no go. It was waiting for me this morning with the screen saver hung up like always. I taped a key and within a few seconds it started running (it's running right now). I thought the next time it was to run was Wednesday but I was off by a day.

I guess this may not be a SuperDuper issue if I seem to be the only one with a question about this. I guess I'll keep looking for something else that is interfering with SD's scheduling. But I know that it's scheduling is at least firing up on the correct day since this only happens on SD's scheduled backup days. Maybe I'll have to run it with iCal and a script.

Thanks for your help dnanian. And dnanian, Macs go to sleep after the period of inactivity set in Energy Saver, regardless if a human is there to provide some initial activity or not. The only time difference in time before sleep would be your perception of it, unless you observed this with a very short sleep time of a minute or so. At short times like that, the actual delay seems almost random in that it sometimes adds 1 or more minutes to the delay (like some background activity is keeping it alive).
