/dev/sdd2 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)

The backup drive is a 1TB external USB and my computer is getting a
little long in the tooth and the BIOS won't boot if I power on with it
connected. So I get lazy and don't always plug it in and restart the
backuppc service. What has changed is that I'm being more diligent in
making my backups and perhaps more significantly, I have recently
upgraded from F9 to F10.
Thanks,
Steve
