looked around for this on the internet and only found ways with the powr management, but this isn't specific enough.

Using automator I configured a backup of certain files. However I do this at something like 4:30 in the morning. So this means my computer is most of the time slumbering or off.

Firstly, is it bad to always have the magsafe2 adapter connected to the laptop over night?

Secondly I know of the option in energy management, but I would like a way of turning on the computer with automator, or is it possible that automator will do its job over night as long as it is connected to the adapter?

thanks :)
