Make a pre-backup script which checks that the ftp mount is up and running. To my understanding this would be defined using $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/bin/bash /usr/local/your_script.sh'; or perl or whatever. If you know any perl ruby or python then I suggest you leverage those skills. Otherwise do a quick google for 'bash filetest'. -jesse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
