I wrote something remarkably similar a few years ago, for similar reasons. I was pretty baffled that nothing similar already existed. Auto-wake with the RTC timer was what I really wanted.

I have a "NAS", which is really an enormous desktop tower crammed full of hard drives. It auto-wakes once per day, pulls backups from my various servers all over the place, then returns to sleep.
