Subject: [Hampshire] udev Scripts & Automated Backups
I have a couple of Netgear Stora NAS drives which I've hacked open as per
http://www.openstora.com/ and I now want to automate backups with them (the
Storas are basically headless Linux boxes with RAID 1).

I also have several portable USB drives that are smaller much than the NAS
capacity that I want to use for backing up the Storas.

What I want to be able to do is have udev on the Stora detect when a USB is
plugged in, and based on which USB drive it is, rsync backup some files to
it.

I'm okay writing udev rules but I wonder if anyone has come across any
interesting scripts to do this?

Regards
