Will Backup Run on Password-protected Computer

[rauckr]

I'm not sure what you are meaning when you refer to the the scheduling documentation. This documentation refers to the need to open the Energy Saver Preference Pane in System Preferences to schedule a wake (or “start up”) event for a minute before the backup is scheduled to run. I did that. My machine is password protected. I was not there to enter the password. Are you indicating that the machine will not wake up unless the password is entered? There was a problem with this backup as documented in my request for support (Case 102026). The problem seemed to happen one hour into the backup.

I am backing up to a 2 TB Seagate drive which is connected to my Airport Extreme router via its' USB port. The computer is wirelessly connected to the Airport Extreme router.
