Possible to Have Backup Wake Windows 10 and Sleep When Finished?

[OcifferAction]

Is it possible for Windows to wake up to do a system image backup and have the computer go back to sleep automatically afterwards?

I would like to run a weekly backup in the middle of the night, but don't want my computer to stay on until I physically put it back to sleep again.

Awesome, thanks. I guess my only question now is how to get it to automatically put itself back to sleep when finished.

It will go to sleep after the inactivity setting defined in 'Power and Sleep' settings. ie. 30min, 60min, etc.
