    How do i set up wake timers?


    I dont get any farther after i select enable wake timers in advanced power options. As soon as i click apply and then ok i expect to see another set of choices but nothing happens. i feel stupid. I want my computer to wake upat 3:00 in the morning to do scheduled backups, and hard drives turn off after 20 minutes after i go to bed. I am just playing with the set. i am not familiar with the task scheduler. I may need some help with that soon. Thanks Roger
