best practices for adding/mounting backup drive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've added a drive to my F18 TC1 system.
In Dolphin it immediately appeared under 'Devices' and clicking on it appears to show it's mounted as "/run/mount/cj/backup disk" with root being the owner
I want to use this drive as a repository to back up my home directory to...

So, my questions:
Where and how should this drive be mounted?
Should I give ownership to myself as opposed to root?
Is FSTAB still the right file to use for setting up mount points?

On my old F16 system, I had two backup drives, and used FSTAB to mount them under the /media folder, and gave user ownership to myself, and group ownership to root, but I have no idea whether that was correct. Can't seem to find anything in documentation about this subject so suggestions on best practices and doing this right would be appreciated
