Hi Антон, (would that be Anton in English?)

If this is a daily backup just leave the machine running at close of 
business and use cron to shut it down after your backup has run.

If you want to wake it up to run your backup set a good electronic timer 
(in Australia <$20) to boot the machine and cron to run your backups and 
shut it down again. Note you must set the BIOS to boot on power restore.

PS my first post to this list.
