That would sacrifice the main idea of a backup server ! In my case and actually talking about a VM running NAS (open media vault)
My approach would be the following:
Create a shellscript which runs via crown on PVE.
This would need to do the following steps.
1. Check if OMV VM is running
2. If not: power on via CLI command (qm start ...)
3. Wait for the VM to start (periodically check via ping and ssh-connect)
4. Once started run a ssh-command (rsync) from PVE to OMV. (Maybe wait / repeat if return code of rsync is not 0)
5. Once completed sleep a few seconds
6. Shutdown VM from PVE via qm command or via ssh shutdown command again
Done

This actually tells you that the connection is established, but not successful because the host you are connecting to in this command has an unexpected host-identification key.
shouldn't it be (note the second user @ nas is gone)
