Service not fully initialised until first login plus backups not triggering

I am running YouTrack under Docker, hosted on an EC2 instance up on AWS. My EC2 instance is auto-scheduled to start-up at 6.00 and shutdown at 00:05 to save on running costs in the cloud. I believe I am suffering two possibly related issues:-

1. The YouTrack "service" appears to not fully initialise until the first user connects to the service
2. My scheduled "Backup" which is scheduled for every weekday at 7.00am does not appear to run

Item 1 I believe is similar to the problem posted here -> https://youtrack-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000075830-Fully-starting-YouTrack-after-server-restart?flash_digest=1f4c3e901d90830f2c8ffa0dff2f7ef921df30cb 

Item 2 I believe may be because the backup is scheduled after the EC2 is started (and hence YouTrack service started), but before the first user has connected.

I've extracted the following snippets from my youtrack.log file to illustrate the problem:-

Note: No backup appears to fire at 07:00

If I manually request the backup to run via the web console, a backup is taken successfully.

Any help or advice appreciated,
Thanks
