Rsync Auto-Backup To Usb

If you need to make backups to usb devices periodically, you can download and use this bash script to automatize the process. All you need is rsync installed. The script will look for the specified device and try to mount it. If successfull, it will execute rsync jobs. Make sure
that the script is executable, and change the following variables to suite your environment: 

### CONFIG VARS ####################################
LOCK_FILE="/tmp/rsync-usb.pid"		# the lock file name
MOUNT_DEV="/dev/sdh1"			# mount device
MOUNT_PATH="/mnt/autobackup-usb"	# mount point
BACKUP_DIR="/home/*"			# backup directory
RSYNC_LOG_FILE="/var/log/rsync/usb_backup.log"# rsync log file
################################################
To execute the script, you can either call it from a shell or run it as a cronjob.
