Hi all

On my headless server, I want to run rsnapshot whenever I plug in my USB hdd. I already have set up automount (autofs) so that the HDD is mounted whenever it's plugged in - but as said, I want rsnapshot to perform a backup whenever the HD is present.

What do I need to do? Using HAL? Or something similar?

Thanks

ivman should do it. Install it and check out the config files in /etc/ivman.
