Is possible turn off all the VMs of all nodes in a Cluster Proxmox VE 2.1 HA for make backup offline of all VMs?

I need to know if there is a simple way to do this, because some VMs depend on the services of other VMs that are on other nodes (forming a chain), plus no one works at night, so I want to make a bash script to run at night and in this order :

1 - Turn off the VMs of all nodes in an orderly manner
2 - Make a backup of all VMs of all nodes
3 - Boot the VMs in an orderly manner

And I just need to know: how to do a clean shutdown of the VMs without that rgmanager boot the VMs again nor stop brutally the VMs if I stop the service rgmanager.

Please anybody can help me?
I will be very grateful to anyone who can help me :D

Best regards
Cesar
