IMHO, "mount/unmount" are very different operations for disk and tapes. For tapes, it is acceptable to leave them "mounted" in the drive, because a "rm -rf /" won't touch them. For disks, they are made part of the filesystem namespace when they are mounted, so their contents will get blown away by "rm -rf /". That's scary to me... the only reason I'm using Bacula instead of just RAID mirroring is that accidental or naive malicious attacks can wipe out all my data. I realize that moving my backups to a secure offsite location is the only way to prevent this fully, but I'm looking for middle ground with convenience and some measure of safety.
