It‘s interesting to read about the anacron approach. I use a
script-approach and that seems to work since years. But I had no need to
restore or recover the database due to errors.

I use mythwelcome. When the system is idle then a shutdown script will be
started. It runs checks (is mythshutdown safe? Is there a samba connection
left? ...), runs fstrim and a database backup once a day and shuts down the
backend machine.

But when I use the Shutdown menu option on the mythwelcome screen, then
mythshutdown is called directly - my script will not be used. So a quick
shutdown is possible as well.

If this seems to be interesting for your use case I would fiddle out the
script and send it to you.

Kind Regards
  Jens
