How to prevent Windows Home server waking for backup
- by Andronicus
Since changing the motherboard in my Windows home server it has been switching itself on every night to perform a scheduled backup.
I don't want this to happen though, I want to switch the server on using Wake on lan, but I want to manually perform backups if/when required.
I know I can disable backups of each computer, and the machine wont turn on, but I want to allow manually triggered backups, or automatic backups if the homeserver is on, but if its in sleep mode, I wish it to stay in that state unless I wake it.
How can this be achieved?
