Hi Michael,
this solution has a couple of drawbacks:
- block will let shutdown, etc. fail, I do only need a pause/wait
- delay does not work with reboot
Regards,
Ralf

I would suggest using an inhibitor lock when running your backup.
See https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit/
That's exactly the use-case it was designed for.
