Q: how do you keep imac from going to sleep during disk utility backup ?

using the install DVD I am attempting to create a disk image backup with the Disk Utility app.  However the imac goes to slepp every 10 minutes. eventually causing an error.

 

I found the commands to use on the commandline in terminal, However I can not use terminal and Disk Utility app at the same time from the install DVD.

 

I am using moutian lion install usb drive.

 

The Snow Leopard install DVD could not handle the 3 TB enternal harddive where the backup will be placed, before I do a clean install of Mountain Lion.

iMac, iOS 6.1.3
