Automated backup of flash drives

Isn't this kind of the opposite of what you want? You use the flash drive AS a backup for your documents in case your hard drive would crash, or your laptop would be stolen - right? I keep my flash drive with my wallet and keys - close to heart :)

Automated backup of flash drives
Authored by: tpayton on Mar 16, '07 01:38:34PM

This got me thinking about the stack of 400 CDs that I need to copy over to a FW drive. humm...

It would be a script that would see if there was a mounted CD and then just dump it to a destination and then eject the CD.

It could be somewhat universal and for the flash application could have a restriction on file names so that if you mounted a volume that contains "flash" it would copy that to a destination directory.

Anybody know of anything like that?
