USB backup plugin - Howto

  • Hi,


    I'm trying to configure USB backup so that, when I plug an external USB drive (an external 3,5" hd),
    the system starts the backup to the external drive, with pre-configured options.


    At the moment, I have to mount the usb drive and start the backup manually.
    Is there a solution so that the backup starts when I plug the drive (with automount)?
    I don't want to let the drive always plugged in (it's an old, noisy 3,5 hd).


    Thank you !

  • I tried with a usb key, but the automount does not work.
    I have to manually mount the key and then execute the backup, and works fine.


    Another question. When the backup has ended, I can just unplug the key or I have to unmount the key before ?

  • I have almost the same issue.
    When I plug in the external HDD (NTFS) nothing happens. When I try to make a manual backup by pressing the start button the drive gets unmounted but no backup was accomplished.
    It fails with this error code:
    ERROR: External storage device </dev/disk/by-label/BackupOMV> not mounted!


    I am using Version 3.2.20
    And I'm using OMV 3 (latest Version)
