An udev rule seems a good approach to me: i want to rsync my backup on an external drive. I'm using rsnapshot/cron stuff, but i'll get soon annoyed about to control the log, see if backup is already made and all, as there is no way in rsnapshot script (for what i understand) to assure the excpected backup frequency (with an EXTERNAL USB DISK i mean: no cron/anacron, maybe vfs or kde device mounter... i don't know)
So, if someone could please tell me how/where to look for this udev rule thing... thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
