Been googling to no end and it seems that no matter how you choose to shutdown your machine all roads lead to the shutdown command which isn't nice about killing the running process'. How about turning the problem around; make a script that runs your backup routine and then shuts down the computer.

#!/bin/bash
backuproutine.sh && shutdown -P now
