You could create a session group for these "unattended machines" and grant "host without consent" permission to just that group to do exactly what you want.

I know an integrated method would be better, but as a temporary work around the program Cobian Backup can transfer the files to another location and has the ability to stop/start services before/after a backup is run.

For the nudge, I created an autohotkey script, compiled it, and put it in the toolbox.


The code is here:
