Make a pre-backup script which checks that the ftp mount is up and
running. To my understanding this would be defined using
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/bin/bash /usr/local/your_script.sh';  or
perl or whatever.

If you know any perl ruby or python then I suggest you leverage those
skills. Otherwise do a quick google for 'bash filetest'.

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
