Do Time Machine backup during sleep mode

[novetan]

I understand Time Machine default setting for backup is something like every hr. What happen if I typed a document for 50 mins than walk away and computer goes to sleep mode before the hr. Will my doc backup automatically in sleep mode or do I have to force it to backup?

Is there a way to change the default setting, say every 15 mins instead of every hr?

It does backup when the computer is asleep if Power Nap is enabled (and your Mac is compatible).

Neat. Tks

Your guess is indeed correct though, there is a window within which Time Machine won’t back up your files. You could shorten the duration by forcing a backup with a launch script, but it will come at a cost of battery life.
