I'm running 10.5.2 on both my computers. I have a backup drive connected to Mac A. File sharing is on for Mac A. From Mac B, I have a scheduled script which backs up Mac B to an image on the backup drive. If I do not have the backup drive mounted on Mac B desktop, then the scripts fails to mount the backup image. The users guide says on page 19 that the image will be mounted as needed and then dismounted after the copy.

Any ideas why I need to keep the backup drive mounted al the time?

Thanks for your help.
