How to handle external drives which may or may not be present
I'm currently using deja-dup to backup to a hard drive I keep at home. I also have an external hard drive at work I'd like to backup to. Since deja-dup only supports one target drive, I'm looking at using Back In Time to do backups on the drive at work.
However, the external drive at work is connected to my dock, and I'm regularly docking and undocking all the time during the day as I go to rooms for meetings. There's no particular times that I know I will be at my desk.
What is the recommended way to configure Back In Time in a situation like this? I assume that the backup will just fail if it can't find the target drive?
It looks like deja-dup triggers a check when a new HD is available, and if it is the backup drive, *and* if a backup hasn't been done in a certain period of time, then it starts a backup - is there a way to do the same with BIT?
Thanks!
