USB Sync / Backup To HDD

[337Manni]

Hi All.

I'm looking for a program for syncing my USB Flash Drive to a folder on my HDD.

Basically I use my USB Pen Drive to carry around important work files. I would like to setup a program so that when I plug in my Pen Drive in it syncs to a predefined folder without any user input.

This would stop me from having to remember to back it up. After a recent HDD failure it has brought home to me how important backups are. I had sum but lost the most recent stuff due to me not backing up in a while (forgetting grrr )

Thanks for reading,

Lee.

Have you setup and used this yourself?

Could you walk me through the setup? I'm not used to the terminal, more of a GUI man at the mo coming from XP to Ubuntu.

I entered
udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdc)

in the terminal as it said but couldn't see any line saying something similar to
ATTR{serial}=="312581808"

Not this exact rule but otherwise udev works as expected.

I entered
udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdc)

ATTR{serial}=="312581808"

Are you sure that /dev/sdc really is the device you are referencing ?

You might try

udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdc | grep ATTR)

sdc = adjust for your situation

The outputs of mount and fdisk -l might help you work out where partitions have been mounted automatically
