I have version 10.9 Mavericks. When I have Power Nap enabled, I do not get hourly Time Machine backups.
Do I also have to change Computer sleep to Never? I am going to test this today and see what happens. However, I don't want to have to do this for the longterm... shouldn't Power Nap allow me to sleep my computer while still doing the hourly Time Machine backups?
Thank you!
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
The backups while in sleep mode will happen only on AC power, not battery power.
Right. My issue is when I don't use my computer for, say, 8 hours, I come back and it only backed up once, even though it's plugged in. When I changed "Computer sleep" time to Never, it backed up all day. I guess this may be expected behavior though, since it may assume that there are no changes being made to your computer if its asleep, but I wish it didn't make that assumption.
According to the documentation, "Time Machine backups are attempted hourly until a successful backup has been completed."
Power nap enabled, but I am not getting hourly time machine backups.
