Turn off automatic wake of computer

Post by Cangoou »

Hello,

I'm using the free version on Win 7.

I'm doing a backup every day at 9 AM. I choose
"If the computer is powered off at this time: Backup once powered on"
and
"Can we change your power plan settings to allow daily backup to wake up this computer from sleep: No".

So what I want is: If the computer is off or in sleep-mode, do not wake it up to execute the backup - do the backup once the computer is powered on the next time.

It might be that I clickes "Yes" on the last question some time ago by mistake, not sure about that - but now the computer wakes up every day at 9 AM. I did the backup-configuration again, clicking "No", but still the computer wakes up at 9 AM. I looked at the Windows Task Scheduler, but couldn't find any job from Veeam or at 9 AM.

How can I turn this off?

Hello Martin.

To disable wake up timers go to Windows Control Panel and open Power Options, then click “Change plan settings” and find the option called wake up timers. Change it to disabled and Veeam Agent for Windows wont wake your computer from sleep for a scheduled backup. Thanks.
