Hi
If Device 009 is your USB HD, then, your /etc/hotplug/usb/usbhd.usermap
sould look like that:
#usb module match_flags idVendor idProduct bcdDevice_lo bcdDevice_hi
bDeviceClass bDeviceSubClass bDeviceProtocol bInterfaceClass
bInterfaceSubClass bInterfaceProtocol driver_info
usbbackup 0x0003 0x04fc 0x0c25 0x0000 0x0000 0x00
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000
Well, now the script. only one question, Do you use backup exec to write
on linuxbox fs and then, rsync to the usb hd?, or do you want to backup
exec directly backup to the usb hd? If you do a rsync from local linux
fs to the USB disk, you can umount the fs in the script when it's
finish. If you choose the second option (Backup diretly to the usb hd)
you sould find other way to umount the usb drive once you have finished
backup (I think the easiest way is a cron job). I think first option is
beter, so you can use this pseudo-script in /etc/hotplug/usb/usbhd:
#!bin/bash
mount -t auto /dev/sd0 /mnt/backup
rsync -Pavz --delete /tmp/backup /mnt/backup
umount /mnt/backup
If you prefere second option, you must made accesible /mnt/backup as you
prefer to your windows box, quit rsync and umount from script, and
create a cron job to umount the usb drive.
I think now is enough clear what do you have to do.
Greetings,
David
