This computer has been scheduled to go to sleep automatically

I am becoming increasingly convinced this message is related to iDrive.

I now see it most mornings, usually with a time remain of just less than 10 minutes, it as though the timer started, the Mac went to sleep then the timer restarted when I awake the Mac in the morning.

The other evening I happened to be up at 03:00, I touched the track pad and unlocked my iMac and the timer was on the screen and was counting down at just under 10 minutes.

Any thoughts appreciated

I’m convinced it is iDrive related, I just cannot prove it.

I now see this message most mornings and it has always started counting down from the point I touch the keyboard on my iMac. If the message was every morning I could turn off iDrive to prove conclusively but it is not, but it happens often enough that I am convinced the balance of probability points to I drive.

I have seen this message again this morning.

I had run a manual clone last night using Carbon Copy Cloner. CCC was still open.

I have asked Bombich whether it could be related, I will let you know.

Hi, as always the Bombich support team have responded very quickly. They have reviewed the logs I submitted and do not think that CCC is the culprit.

I've not seen the message again recently so this may well remain one of life's unsolved mysteries

Regards

@eerk I was already using v3.5.2.5 and with the Awake from sleep for backup option unticked I did not see the sleep message. I then ticked the Awake from sleep for backup option and I've started seeing the message again.

I've just updated to v3.5.2.7 so we will see if that improves anything.

I'm now convinced the problem is iDrive related but I am not wondering whether it is the interaction with other settings on the Mac that are causing the problem or possibly these settings in relation to the time that iDrive is scheduled to run. I've pasted my Energy Saver settings below for comparison.
