Hi Daniel,
No, not quite.
If you want a clean file system on the drive you are going to remove you must
temporary stop BackupPC and unmount the file system first. When the drive is
removed you can mount the file system again and start BackupPC. This will cause
the RAID to run in degraded mode
I think I understand your want in that you would like to have backuppc
check that a drive is hooked up before trying to use it for backups. If
I am correct then I would suggest you build a quick daemon script that
starts backuppc when the device is hotplugged and stops backuppc when
unplugged.

Yeah, that worked OK in centos 4 with the hal daemon, but then it all
changed in CentOS 5 with the gnome auto mounting.

Just thinking out loud here, but couldn't you achieve the same result
by using the automounter? The the drive is present, the automounter
would mount it up and then BackupPC would be happy. If the drive
isn't present, the mount should fail and Bac

Hi,
I asked this before, but no one answered, so I will try again :)
I am using a large (500G) external USB disk as backup media.
It performs reasonably, so no sweat.
Problem is:
Is there a way to do a pre-check to see if the drive is actually mounted
and, if not, just skip the scheduled backup?
