I'm using a Centos 6 system running BackupPC 3.3.0 to back up a small home network of mixed linux and windows PCs. I recently added a windows 7 (professional) box and installed cygwin 1.7.29 on it. I'm using rsync over an ssh tunnel to back it up. I've got password-less ssh running, and rsync works fine, as long as the machine stays awake. The problem is that windows puts itself to sleep before the backup can complete.
I've got wake-on-lan working, so I can wake the machine up if it starts out asleep, and I can run commands on it via ssh, so I can use powercfg.exe to (supposedly) set power options. I have tried creating a power scheme on windows that disables sleeping and prevents spinning the disks down for long enough to do a back up. I can use powercfg to switch to that power scheme -- I can log in and see the power scheme has changed -- but windows still goes back to sleep in a few minutes. Does anybody know a way of telling windows not to sleep that will work if no user is logged in?
