I want to use my snap server as a backup device so I don't really need it on 24x7. I figured I can remote turn off the snap server by using the shutdown command in a url, but I don't know if it's possible to turn the snap server on remotely, like with Wake-on-lan (WOL).

Ideally, I going to have a scheduled script that will:
1) turn on snap server
2) backup files to it
3) turn off snap server

If it were a regular windows PC, I would shutdown with a remote shutdown command and startup with a WOL packet. I have a snap server 4000.

I'm sure there are ways to cut the power remotely, but I assume that would be BAD for raid5.

Thanks!
