Wake up from standby question

Does anyone know of a way to have the computer "wake up" from stand by or
hibernation at a particular time? This would be to run a back up or virus
scan in the middle of the night. I haven't found anything in the "scheduled
task" help screens on the subject.

On the "Settings" tab in the Properties for a task you can find an
option to wake the computer for to run a task. This will work with
Standby, but not with Hibernation mode.
