I can think of a couple of ways.

#1 using the Networker scheduler, write a savepnpc program that will
   pause until the conditions are satisfied.  You'll want to use
   timeouts to make sure you don't stall forever.

#2 Don't use the networker scheduler, but have a daemon process kick off
   a backup when the conditions are right.
