I have a couple of NAS that back up on a power schedule - including an old Duo. So this is definitely possible. I don't recall off-hand if you can set up a monthly schedule - my Duo is set to weekly.

The backup protocol I use is rsync, and that does have options for incremental backup. The first backup will take longer - just let it.
Definitely run the backups on the Duo with the RN422 as the remote source. Then the powerdown schedule will be held off until the backup completes. Try to run the backup off-hours, as that will improve coherency.
