Thanks, Andy. As I said above, I don't speak shell scripts unfortunately. My situation is a bit different: the MAC address doesn't change, but the Mac containing the backup disk (which has file sharing turned on) goes to sleep after backups finish (overnight). Since the server icon is left on the desktops of the other Macs by SD, I get spinning beach balls until OSX decides to offer to "disconnect" the server, which can take a while and is most annoying. The only way to avoid this is to get in the habit of remembering to select and eject the server each time I wake up one of those Macs, before doing anything else.
If only SD would disconnect the server (after unmounting the disk image file)... IOW if it could just reverse the procedure it does before copying...
Not sure I'm making myself clear. It's just an annoyance factor, nothing more.
