    fiver..

    a few things.. Time Machine can be flakey..

    1. It can be picky about your selection of hard drive.. the iOmega one might be the culprit in your case

    2. If that's not the case, make sure you wipe everything on that backup drive, kill the partitions, recreate everything with Journaled NFS+

    I can't tell you whether or not Time Machine stops backing up if your Mac goes to sleep as I haven't checked.. BUT I have absolutely no problems with Time Machine.

    I did have problems with it initially when I did a clean install of OSX.. same machine after 3 years mind you.. same Mac Pro.. but for some reason Time Machine kept giving me error message that it won't backup stuff..

    I did my 2 things above and since then I had no issues.
