Caffeine is a free app that keeps the Mac awake.

The problem

Whenever the display goes to sleep on my MacBook, the drive shuts down and stops the back-up. This 2011 MacBook likes to meet energy guidelines and sleeps a lot, even with settings tweaked to the max in System prefs.

I have used the free app Caffeine for years and it works great.
