I use the pre/post-archive commands to login/logout/mount/unmount an iscsi-
device when writing archives to it. And these archives are scheduled weekly by
cron.
I also extended the script to remove all dirs/files older then 28 days from the
remote disk. But that feature isn't fully debugged and needs to proof itself
in around 1.5 days...
Have fun,
