Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC and power saving
2009-10-13 12:31:51
Wake-by-BIOS is interesting. Nice tip. I forgot the functionality even
existed. This makes the setup simpler. So what about:
1. BIOS wakes up machine.
2. Wake machine around midnight so BackupPC_nightly can do its thing
or just trigger manually upon bootup.
3. Now we'll reverse the direction: BackupPC wakes the clients.
4. BackupPC shuts itself down after jobs are complete OR after some
time interval (I don't want it to wait forever if a laptop is out for
the night, for example). Looks like BackupPC_serverMesg status hosts
can help here.
5. We wait for #1.
how about
1)boot on bios power-on schedule
2)let backuppc process all backups. should automatically happen due to the wakeup schedule though I would shorten that period.
3)run a script to determine if backuppc is doing a backup, if so then sleep for your wakeup schedule + 1 minute, if not then execute backuppc nightly
4)trigger a shutdown when backuppc nightly completes.
