Set up a systemd timer job for automatic backups, using WakeSystem=true
to make RTC resume the system if it is suspended during when the backup
is scheduled to run. Then wrap the backup command with "systemd-inhibit
--what=idle" to keep the system awake during the backup process.

The only problem I've seen with this setup is that even with 

	After=network-online.target nss-lookup.target
	Wants=network-online.target nss-lookup.target

the network isn't always fully online when the job starts. Does anyone
know a reliable way of ensuring that with systemd configuration
(without workarounds like sleep-before-starting)? Any why doesn't
network-online.target work when resuming from sleep?
