Windows 10 also won't run scheduled backups if it's sleeping. RDP and Acronis work properly if the computer is not asleep. Wake on LAN is enabled.

Click on (Start) or press key and type device manager and open the "Device Manager" window.

From here under "Network adapters" find the Ethernet Controller for which you would like to enable Wake-On-LAN (WOL). Right-Click on that Ethernet Controller in the "Device Manager" window, to open the context menu and select "Properties".

From the Properties window select the "Power Management" tab, and make sure to enable:

• Allow this device to wake the computer
  • Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer

For some unknown reason, if both of these are not enabled then my machine would not wake.
