I use the pre/post-archive commands to login/logout/mount/unmount an iscsi- device when writing archives to it. And these archives are scheduled weekly by cron. I also extended the script to remove all dirs/files older then 28 days from the remote disk. But that feature isn't fully debugged and needs to proof itself in around 1.5 days... Have fun, Arnold
