An (Applescript) hack to automate mounting and unmounting external volumes

If you plug the drive in at that point, it should be recognized and the copy should continue.

I understand that, but I'm trying to get things set up so that the drive is automatically mounted, superduper runs, and the drive is automatically unmounted. That's what the scripts provided above do. My problem is how to get the external drive mounted before SuperDuper tries to do its thing. I've fiddled with the crontab file, and I've managed to get the drive mounted before SuperDuper runs. But when SuperDuper attempts to run the "unmount drive" script, it reports that "permission is denied". So, I've found a half-solution, so far.

You'll need to use the general framework we provide in our own copy template, and you'll want to run with "without user interaction", too.
