The same way you would use the '[ -f
/path/to/usbdisk/.fileyouwouldhavetocreate ]', but without creating
the file...

I'm not really an expert on BackupPC (I only used the basic features
so far), but I believe you would use that as a script for PingCmd or
maybe DumpPreUserCmd and maybe together with UserCmdCheckStatus (see
Jeffrey's previous e-mail). I guess they could give you some more help
on how to configure this than I could...

HTH,
Filipe
