automatically boot and shutdown for backup
Hallo,
i have a ReadyNAS 516 with my data and a old ReadyNAS314 which i want to use for backup. I got it running and backing up fine. But i cant find a option to shutdown RN314 after backup is finished. I found the power timer. But this allows me just to start up at a time (okay, thats what i want) and shut down at a time (this i dont want). Is there a way to tell RN314 to shut down after the backup is finished (and not too early)?
Thank you
Lennardo

I'm interested in an answer to this. Over on this thread it says "If the backup is running it should not power off."

That's still the answer.
I have a daily backup job scheduled for midnight. I'll set the NAS to power-up at 11:45, do a 145Gb backup and power off at 00:05, I doubt the backup will be complete and I can see if it powers off...
- What about if you have two jobs (job1 schedule is 00:05-02:05, job2 is 01:05 to 03:05). Power schedule is 00:00-02:00.
If job1 is not finished at 02:00, the NAS won't shutdown, fine. But would job2 start before shutdown? Or would the NAS shutdown straight after job1 completes?
Without power schedule, job2 would only start from 01:05 after job1 is complete or forced start at 03:05 regardless of job1 status.I got a log entry 'scheduled power-off was delayed'. So it seems the backupjob has priority above power-off. I am test now some sitruation and will give feedback in a few days.

"I got a log entry 'scheduled power-off was delayed'. So it seems the backupjob has priority above power-off."
That matches my experiment last night. I set the NVX NAS to wakeup at 23:45, and power off at 00:30. I then created a backup job that ran on that NVX, and using RYSNC copied/pulled the data from my primary NVX, starting at 00:05
The backup NVX powered on at 23:45, the backup job took 54-minutes to complete and the backup NVX powered off afterwards.
