Computer going to sleep during migration

Doing a file migration from an old computer to a new one. Has anyone had issues with a computer going to sleep during the process? Does it still transfer when it’s sleeping?

Mac mini, OS X 10.11

Hi macadams,



The transfer may pause if the Mac goes to sleep. To stop this, you can prevent the hard disks from going to sleep using this resource: Set sleep and wake settings for your Mac – Apple Support


If you have followed the steps correctly and you still have the issue, let us know if you get any specific alerts or error messages when trying, as those may help us determine what might be causing the issue.


Cheers!
