Autobackup while 'asleep'

2008-11-17 Thread Jack S. LaRosa
Fellow list members,

Because of differences between computers and operating systems, I am
unsure if this question can be answered with any certainty. Since my
recent debacle with messages disappearing (in defense of TB, they went
missing after a crash while TB was still open) I have set up TB to
perform automatic backups daily at 0200hrs. This on an HP laptop
running Vista Home Premium. This laptop automatically goes to 'sleep'
whenever the lid is folded closed. So, my question is: Will TB 'wake
up' the computer (even though the lid is closed) and perform it's
backup? This AM was the first time the automatic backup was performed
and it should have started at the scheduled time. However, when my
wife opened the computer at around 0730hrs, the backup was still in
progress. Did it not start until the computer was opened or has it
actually been running since 0200hrs? She may have a total of 2500
messages in the entire account spread over several folders.

No. The PC is asleep and therefore TB is asleep too.
A  backup  for  2500  messages  will  take no more than a few minutes.
