Yes, you're right. You can configure automount as Barry suggested. If
you want to be lazy about it, you can add the appropriate mount command
to rc.local. mount /mnt/backup should do it. AFAIK there is no option
you can add to an fstab entry to make a failed mount of it nonfatal on
boot (that functionality is built in to the startup scripts IIRC).
