Power NAP and Time Machine Backup

One of the features of Power Nap is to allow backup even when the notebook is in a sleep .


i notcied that even when Power Nap is enabled , i loose the backup process immediatly if PC goes to sleep. the condition happens when the backup is already working and after some time when not using the PC it goes to Sleep .


is there a solution for the same ?

Same here. Doesn't seem to work as advertised? Neither does it continue a backup when going into a "power nap"

The info isn't clear, but TM has always cancelled a backup when going to sleep.



nor does it start a new backup during a "power nap".

It should, but only if the previous one was more than an hour earlier.
