how about
1)boot on bios power-on schedule
2)let backuppc process all backups. should automatically happen due to the
wakeup schedule though I would shorten that period.
3)run a script to determine if backuppc is doing a backup, if so then sleep
for your wakeup schedule + 1 minute, if not then execute backuppc nightly
4)trigger a shutdown when backuppc nightly completes.
