Hi again and thanks for the replies to my question. I have finally rebuilt world and compiled a new kernel since I didn't have USB support and SCSI/da support in my previous kernel. I have also used your suggestion and created this script that I can run from command line or as a cronjob: #!/bin/sh MOUNT=/external DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M` mount /dev/da0 $MOUNT #Change device name find $MOUNT -mtime +30 -delete mkdir $MOUNT/$DATE rsync -rlpgoD /backup/ $MOUNT/$DATE umount /external dmesg shows: umass0: Generic USB Storage Device, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2 umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (TIMEOUT) da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <SAMSUNG HD501LJ 0-10> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 476940MB (976773168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 60801C) When I try to run my script I get this prompt back: mount: /dev/da0 on /external: incorrect super block (allthough the script seems to continue to run). Am I doing something wrong here or do I need to I need to use one of the other from /dev: ls -la /dev [snip] crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 92 Jan 12 03:42 da0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 93 Jan 12 03:28 da0s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 98 Jan 12 03:28 da0s1c crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 99 Jan 12 03:28 da0s1d Thanks for any help here!
