bash script to mount/unmount your SuperDuper drive
I mentioned on the Twitter that I had written this little script and was a little proud of it and @dnanian suggested I post about it here
Well, it was easier to post (with pictures, etc) to my website http://tntluoma.com/shell-scripts/su...mount-unmount/ if that doesn't work (line breaks), try http://tntluoma.com/?p=1307 I hope you find it useful. WHAT DOES IT DO? It will automatically mount and unmount the drive you use for SuperDuper. All you have to do is fill in your drive name, and a few other simple things. If you are totally unfamiliar with the commandline (Terminal.app) this may not be for you. I can't promise to help everyone get it working, but provide it here for others who can use it. ps - I'm http://twitter.com/luomat on Twitter if you'd like to connect there |

Great, and thanks for sharing!
One little hidden feature for those of you who don't know: SuperDuper will automatically mount and unmount drives when you run scheduled copies. If the drive is not mounted when the schedule fired we'll mount, copy and unmount completely automatically. This only happens with scheduled copies, though. Enjoy, and thanks again.

Really?
Well damn, then this whole thing is kind of unnecessary for me :-)
Oh well, learning experience. |

No, not unnecessary at all if you want to do it manually. Plus, awesome learning experience, no? :-)

I want to copy a disk which is not mounted to another disk which is not mounted. It seems to me that SD will mount on the fly the target disk, but it will NOT mount consistently the source disk. Am I doing something wrong? cheers --e. |

That's correct, we'll mount the backup drive but not the source.

Is there any reason for that? Is there any chance that in a future release SD will mount the source drive? cheers --e. |

Well, mostly because it seems a bit weird to try to back up drives that aren't mounted at all... it's one thing to try to keep your backup drive "offline" to save wear/tear and reduce the chance for modification, but it's another thing entirely to do that with both the backup and the source.
Why are you doing this?
