Since SuperDuper! does not start to copy if the target drive was not mounted, I suppose, the script which would mount the drive won't help. An Applescript may be used for this purpose to mount the drive and open the SuperDuper! afterwards.
Of course, your shell scripts can call applescripts. For example, I created an applescript to make some cleanup just before SuperDuper! starts copying. This applescripts called by a shellscript which is set to run before SuperDuper's copy. |

Thank you for making clear one of my implicit questions which was: will a scheduled backup proceed at least through the running of the "before script" even if the target partition is not mounted yet, and then, after it is mounted (by the script) be able to backup...
The question remains open, even if you skepticism seems justified to me... M. |

Sorry, Maxy -- I didn't reply because Cuneyt had it exactly right. If you want to mount/unmount, you'll need to modify the scheduling scripts, because those run before the settings are loaded (and after things are done). The shell scripts inside SD! itself occur too late for this purpose.

This is a really good idea to safe guard the backup (keep it unmounted .. mount it for the backup and then umount) .. Is it possible to add this capability to SD?

It's something we're investigating -- anything's "possible", of course! It's a question of whether it's a good thing to do, and whether it can be expressed appropriately in the UI without confusion.

OK. Thanks for the answer. I'll just have to build something inspired by this very interesting thread ...

Yes -- Dave has a lot of good ideas in there, so I'm sure you'll be able to piece something together.
