Allow computer to go to sleep

[alex3137]

Hello

I would like FreeFileSync to transfer files in the background when I am using my computer. I created a task so that it starts a background job after one minute of inactivity. This task is very long (24 hours) as there is a huge amount of data to transfer. My problem is it seems to prevent my computer going to sleep until the task finishes.

Is there a way to configure FreeFileSync to only copy data while the computer is running, let it go to sleep and resume the task when it wakes up ?

Thank you

(Not that I have any clue about such things, but...) in Win7, perhaps, simply setting the ffs.exe (change to the correct executable name) priority to 'Below Normal' will allow "normal" inactivity to put the computer into sleep. And presumably upon awakening the (ffs.exe) task will resume?
