Data backup- (udev problem)

hi,

in order to backing up of the
data , I wrote a script  that uses the rsync command.
This script have to be launched
manually, and the data
are saved on a
USB Hard Disk, which (obviously) must be mounted.
The mounting 
of the partitions
for the back up on the USB HD is  made permantly at boot of the computer (the
name of the backup-partitions
is wrote
in the file / etc / fstab)
:
UUID=376214F24CC07CE0
             /media/BKx_data-personal      ntfs    defaults        0
0
UUID=479F99A324FF4D1D
             /media/BKx_programming        ntfs    defaults      0 0
UUID=EA8266EA8266BB29
          /media/BKx_data-common       ntfs    defaults        0 0

This
 script works fine.
However,
this solution for backing up the data is problematic, because I
always receive messages with the request of access to the partitions 
of the “backup-partitions” by "nautilus" - 
every time that I use the "find" command. 

 I
can consider that  this problem is connected with the
permanent mounting of the partitions on the
HD-USB (on the file /etc/fstab).

To avoid these problems I
actually removed the permanent mounting of the partitions by registering them on the
file fstab and now I'm looking for an alternative solution for the back up
the data.
I
think this solution can go in the following directions:

mounting
	the partitions (commanded by the script) before executing the rsync
	command and unmounting them immediately afterwards.

alternatively,
	giving appropriate orders to the “udev feature” about the backup
	partitions (I think this is possible to do, but I do not know how to
	do it).

I would like to have some
suggestions and advice about it.
Regards
Angelo
