I would like to attach an external USB2 300GB hard drive to one of our servers that runs Fedora Core 5. This is mainly so that I can run rsync on it and get a backup of the Linux filesystem. I need to have a backup that I can restore from for this server.
Is this the best way to get a nightly backup going? If so, how do I mount a removable drive on Fedora? What should I see it as in the devices?
