SilverKeeper - A great way to drain your battery!
Authored by: greenbike on Dec 04, '04 12:46:52PM
I've been looking for a backup utility that will wake my computer from sleep. I downloaded silverkeeper last night to try it out. I created a backup > tested it > scheduled for 2 AM. Got up this morning and backup successfully ran. Checked /var/log/system.log to see how it woke my computer. Saw multiple entries like the following:

Dec 4 03:17:02 Computer kernel: System Sleep
Dec 4 03:17:04 Computer kernel: System Wake

So, it looks like silverkeeper's trick to "wake" the computer is to never let it sleep! I would not recommend this utility for laptops. Other suggestions for backup utilities that really wake the computer.

Those two lines don't mean that your computer actually went to sleep and woke up at those times.
