how to tell if TM has worked in SLEEP mode

Hello,

is their a way of telling, or a terminal command to run to see if time machine has successfully ran a backup whilst asleep ?

and also, my mac mini wakes every hour for some reason, does the mac wake up to do a TM backup ?

many thanks

 

hello thanks for reply ...
your right it does say when last backup was -
but unfortunately my mini has a habit of wakin up by itself ...

when in terminal ... and asking for wake reason log ... it says the mini wakes ever hour for some reason, usually a "rtc alarm"...

so I don't know if the mac is wakin to do a scheduled TM backup, or wakin up for another reason :/ ...

on a hole ... I'd like the TM to backup whilst it's in power nap... an not wake the system to do a backup ...

thanks for reply

 

thanks for your reply,

followed your command ...
