I have not yet been able to figure out how to force BESR to wake the PC to run its jobs. My system is using S1 sleep and I have disabled allowing USB Hubs to sleep. Nothing works. The BESR Event log doesn't record anything, Its not even like BESR tries to run. It just does nothing. I don't see an option in BESR to force wake up. Any ideas?
Running Win 7 x64. Fully patched. This problem is not speciic to 9.0.2. Its occured with all versions of V9.x
Meanwhile I have other backup programs that have an option to wake a PC and these works fine with S1 sleep. Is there a workaround for BESR or do I have to disable sleep altogether?

Afaik there is no way to configure BESR to wake up a PC.

Thanks.
Dear Symantec - Add this to your wish list for the next version of BESR. Or let us use the Windows scheduler. This is so 1999.

Don't forget to post your suggestion here: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/de/idea/welcome-symantec-ideas
So would you please mark this post as solved ?

Your link is to a page on the Symantec Germany forums.
I wouldn't say passing along a wishlist recommendation "solves" the current issue. Would you?

No I wouldn’t make this as solved until I get I fix
I have the same issue backups are missed when the pc sleeps
I tried scheduling a task like play a sound to wake up the pc before backup
But the scheduling in BESR is null

Sorry for the german version of the forum. Well you could also file a case with symantec.

Glad I'm not the only one. Quite odd how Symantec programmers haven't identified this as a needed feature. Especially in today's "Green" society where you are asked to allow your PC to sleep.
Sometimes big companies miss the most obvious things.....

Any updates here ?

I wish. At this point it would be nice to see a response from Symantec.

I had the same issue I was working on our president’s home pc and tried to schedule backup to run at night but had the same issue pc a sleep and no backup
So I found a scheduled process from windows to run just before the backup and it worked
I setup media center there is an option to run optimization at certain times so I set it for 4:00 am and the backup for 4:05 am and it worked
I guess if you find some windows event to run just before backup to wake up your pc this might work for you
