Backup Solution questions

[TOOL1075]

All,

Yeah, I could google. I will later tonight. But for now, I will post the question:

Requirements (wants):

I want to use an external backup drive for a home desktop computer. I will be backing up less than 1TB of data.

I want to schedule that drive to do nightly backups.

I put the desktop to sleep at night. I want the backup software to wake-up the computer, back up the shit, and then put it back to sleep.

Questions:

1. I could probably just do this with a 1TB external hard drive in a case, which connects via USB, right?

2. Vice-versa software or similar would do something like this, right?

3. Is this not possible? If so, why?


Thanks guys, appreciate any insight/help.
