Nor could there possibly be since there is no such concept as "all of
the backups" -- each machine runs on it's own schedule based on the
config file and when it was last backed up. So there is no guaranteed
ordering or synchronization among the backups -- each proceeds to be
backed up when it is ready. Even if they all start out ordered they
will diverge over time due to different length of time it takes to
back up each machine and different availability/downtimes.

So there is no possible way for BackupPC to know when all the backups
are finished let alone act on it...
