Comment 4 for bug 431219

Oh, I assumed that it would work with just the server information Deja Dup already has. I see now that you need the ip/name to be cached or use the MAC address (which makes sense since the server is off...). So maybe it would need a bit of UI to work.

Ken, this functionality could live in duplicity (if host isn't reachable, try to wake it; would need to allow passing an optional MAC address to use or if that isn't provided just try the server name given and hope).

Or if you're not excited about it, the feature could live just in Deja Dup, if and when it's added.
