Is the machine set to go into hibernate mode?
Windows tracks when your machine is unattended and may attempt to switch into standby or hibernate mode. In this mode, programs do not run and only human interaction (a mouse click, keystroke or switch throw) can re-awaken the PC. In this mode, the remote backup software could stall or actually completely slip its next scheduled start time. If this occurs, abort the program, then stop and restart the rbackup.exe program to resume normal operation. To run unattended backups, verify that hibernate and standby settings of your PC are disabled. Traditional powersaver features such as monitor and disk drive power-off are compatible with the backup software. Use the control panel power settings applet to check settings or disable standby or hibernate.
