Shutdown of remote ReadyNAS afer Backup?

Hi,

 

I´m using two ReadNAS Devices, one as my working NAS and one only as a Backup-Device (daily backup via rsync).

 

I learned, that I can wake up the Backup ReadyNAS before the Backup (WOL), but I wonder if it is possible to shut it down aber finishing the backup-jobs.

 

I´ve seen the power-timer function with the possibilty to set shutdown events, but I want to avoid, that the shutdown accurs during a very long backup.

 

Any hints?

 

Thanks and best regards

Jan

The way I handle this is to run the backup jobs on the destination NAS.  That NAS is on a power schedule.  The NAS will defer shutdown if a backup job is in progress.

Thanks for the hint! Good to hear, that the NAS won´t shut down during an active backup job.

Note that's only if the backup job is running on that NAS.  That's why I run the jobs on the NAS that is on the power schedule.
