Backup in sleep mode?

I used to have no problems getting Vista to backup and do other maintenance
at night while in the sleep mode. After my Vista reinstall I get error
messages from the backup program (couldn't run) and anti-virus program
(can't download updates), and a few others. I assume there is a setting
that I do not have right. Help please.

Thanks in advance... Bob

The main setting would be the 'Wake the computer to run this task' on the
'Conditions' tab for the task.

This was after a Vista reinstall so everything was reinstalled.

Double-click on a task in 'Task Scheduler' (right pane). Should be obvious
from there.
