FAQ
In what situations can an external hard disk not be sent to Sleep mode?
If a software that is running in the background has access to the hard disk or is monitoring
the hard disk (e.g. a backup software), it might happen that the external drive cannot
be sent to Sleep mode.
For example, this can happen with the software Nero BackItUp & Burn Essentials if the
AutoBackup function is activated for the external drive.
If you want to use the Green Button software in this case, the AutoBackup function has
to be deactivated. To do this, right-click on the “Nero BackItUp Agent” system tray icon
and select “Close Nero BackItUp Agent”.
