I didn't think of NFS volumes. That's another very good reason why one
might want to check if a directory is available.

Here is one slight variation: Reuse DumpPreUserCmd. If the command
returns 0, proceed with the dump, otherwise 'next'. Then, I could write:
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = 'if [ -d /my/external/disk ]; then exit 0; else
exit 1; fi';
I your case, with NFS, you would write a script that tries to mount NFS
and would return 0 or 1 depending on whether the mount succeeds.
What do you think?
