[GRLUG] another backup plan

[Michael Mol]

In your cron'd shell script, grep for '/media/usb-harddrive' in
"/proc/mounts".

Something checking udev to verify the serial number of the flash drive would
be even better, but I don't know how to do that off the top of my head, and
it's up to you if you want to go that far.
