gcoupe Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Just a thought - are you using the standard VGA graphics driver on your system? That could be why you are not seeing the sleep/suspend state. See http://www.homeserversoftware.com/lo/whs2011/help/en/faq_standby.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 If the MicroServer supports Hibernate, and WHS Client Backup can work with hibernated computers, it seems that it should be do-able. I'm with Leo on the sleeping/waking up issue. I don't get how a computer that's sleeping can 'wake itself up'. How can a Scheduled Task execute if the CPU is dormant? I thought the WHS wakes up the Client Computers for backup using WoL. Of course, if both the Server and Client are asleep, who wakes who up? As I believe I said in that thread, I find it very peculiar that the availability of Sleep or Hibernate is in any way dependant on the video card. I understand it's true -- it's just really, really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoupe Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) WoL only works with wired connections; it is not valid for WiFi connected computers. Therefore, client laptops are woken up by the scheduled backup task in the laptop - not by the WHS. There is a WoWL standard - but I don't believe that WHS uses it.

ikon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't why I'm baffled by this -- I've done it myself in the past. I do actually know that a Scheduled Task can wake a computer. I'm putting it down to senility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
