Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2007Backup app not working correctly
Or maybe it's me. I just bought a 320 GB external hard drive (Fantom Drives) for storage and backup. When I open the app, I have a window, Home Folder. My backup item is my home folder, cleverly named with my name. At the bottom part of that window, the Destination and Schedule information is a Daily backup to the 320 at 4:00 a.m. It didn't do it this morning. It has backed up once, when I was in this same window and changed the schedule time to something about one minute from current time it kicked in and I watched it back up my home folder. Whaddaya suppose I'm doing wrong? Thanks again.

The Energy Saver panel is set to wake at 2:45 a.m. and the go to sleep command is for inactivity of three hours. I have the display going to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity. Should i have the "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" option checked or unchecked?

Leave that option checked, but make sure the cpu isn't allowed to go into sleep mode. > > > > Whaddaya suppose I'm doing wrong? > > > > Thanks again.

I'll see what's transpired in the morning. -Barb Signature-Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://jamlady.eboard.com - Comfort Food for Bob Pastorio, updated 3-16-2007 http://web.mac.com/barbschaller - Hollandaise sauce 3-15-2007 http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/amytaylor > > Or maybe it's me. > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Is your Mac asleep at 4 am? I don't know if that was the problem, Dave, based on my first reply to you but I'm pleased to report that it did an incremental backup this morning at 4:00 a.m. Took about 8 minutes to review and adjust 17 GB of stuff.
