I have an external FW 800 drive that I want to use for backup. I also want to keep the drive off and only turn it on when I want to backup, so as to limit the amount of time the drive is spinning = less of a chance of the drive failing.
I would like an AS that does the following (similar to the Finder recognizing when a blank CD is inserted)
- I turn on the drive and it mounts (obviously I have to do that
- Finder recognizes the mounted volume and an Retrospect run document is launched
- After backup, drive is unmounted.
#2 is where Iโm having the problem. I canโt find anything that looks to see if a drive is mounted and then moves on.
Any suggestions?
TIA
