wake up nfs server before backup vm possible?

[tony blue]

Hello,

I am running a nfs-server to save the backups of my proxmox server.

This time I start the nfs-server manual via etherwake and after this i start the backup of the virtual machines via web-interface manual on the proxmox.

So I ask: Is it possible to start the nfs-server automaticly by wol before the timecontrolled backups on the web-Interface were started?

Thank you!

Tony

Automatically? No, but you can add a cron job half an hour before your back jobs starts and mount in the storage via pvesm.

The nfs-Backupserver should go down after the backup of the virtual machines. Is there any way to check if the backup-process is ready so the nfs-backupserver can go down?

Good question. You could grep the process list and look for vzdump processes or look at the log files. You can also use the autogenerated mail as a good trigger. The mail is only sent if the backup process terminates.
