Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the great addon.
My backup system does not run 24/7, so I was missing the option to wake up my system before copying the backup.
This PR adds the option to do a WOL before copying the backup to the host system.
A few notes on implementation:
The process of doing a WOL is as follows:
Check if WOL is enabled
Check if host is online
If the host is online
If host is offline
Send WOL
Ping host system 100 times
Check if host comes up within 100 pings
Host comes up within 100 pings
Host did NOT come up after 100 pings
Thanks for reviewing my PR and just let me know if there is anything to change.
