Pushing the little button on the back actually does a reboot. The power button on the screen does two things, it stops the player if its playing any music and it activates the "off" screensaver (which you can choose in the menus), thats it. It doesn't actually power down anything. The server is still running so there should be no problem "waking up", which just changes the screensaver!
The only issue is how the drive behaves. Some drives have a sleep mode which will spin down the drive if not being used for a certain period of time. If this happens it might take some time for the drive to spin back up and be ready to play music. There also seems to be some drives that actually disconnect themselves from the USB port after a certain time, this is bad because the server will then stop. If that happens you either have to plug and unplug the drive or manually restart the server, in either case you then have to wait for the rescan. So the big issue is to see how your drive responds after not being accessed for a long time. The easiest way is to just don't play anything over night, then check the status of the server, if its still running then you should be fine. If the server isn't running it probably means the drive has disconnected itself. The best solution for that is to find some way to change its settings so it doesn't do that.
