Consider this possibility for people who want to perform tasks such as backups at a specific time:
If you are setting your BIOS to allow wake up events by the BIOS (not the operating system), then there is often an accompanying option to wake the system at a specific time. So assume that you plan to have a backup run at 2:00 AM. You might consider waking the system at something like 1:55 AM.
Note that this is a BIOS dependant feature. Not all systems will have such options. For those systems that have this option, the name may vary. It may be something like wake by RTC (Real Time Clock). Also, whether you can wake the system every day at a certain time, or specific days of the week may be options available to you.
