Ghost 15 will not wake up Windows 7 computer at required time for backup.  Set power options to never sleep.  That helped on one computer but not the other.

Could you create a task to run before the scheduled backup?

can you give me an example of a 'task' which would be appropriate?

Create a task to run CCleaner, your Anti-Virus software update, Windows Update etc.

I'm not having any luck getting my PC to wake up though. You have to have a password on you account. I'll give it a try and let you know.

It did work. It just did not start exactly at the time set. It took about 45 seconds to start. Also, my screen stayed asleep.

I sure wish Ghost could just use the task scheduler.
