there are two different things.

screen saver and power management.

power management will put the computer in suspend mode which will copy memory to a buffer then put the system into a very low power mode waiting to be woke up after wich it will copy the buffer back to memory and resume where it left off.

screen savers can display nice graphics but they can also turn off the monitor.

if a screen saver turns off the monitor, the computer continues to run and perform all its functions.

if you move the mouse or type something and the monitor responds with a password right away, then it is the screen saver turning off the monitor.

if it takes a little while and the disks are flashing and making noise that would be the computer waking up from suspend mode.

hope this helps

keep computer on by simply using the linux (ubuntu) timer on until rsync is finished.

   settings-->power-->power saving=="never"

this is a time set at 3 minutes  - change it to an hour or more until rsync is done.

moin moin,

your computer effectively turns off when it goes to sleep.

tcp connections such as rsync might continue if you bring the computer out
of sleep soon enough. Most likely you'll have to restart the rsync as the
tcp connections will have timed out. rsync might also have controls to
require re-authentication.

rsync will continue from where it left off once you restart it.

ciao,
