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 Ugo Bellavance escribió: > David Ferreira wrote: >> I've used simple scripts for similar backup system.
