Let me add this which I failed to mention.
This was a fresh install as a "Server with Desktop". I have been adding
packages as needed.
Week before last when working on this, I was looking through the logs and
found REAR need syslinux which wasn't installed. I may not have all the
packages installed I need. I run REAR as a cron job around 2AM. If I did a
reboot/restart and forgot to manually mount the USB drive or forgot to click
on it gnom, which is usually the case, I don't get a backup.
It ran last night and I was OK, but I'd still need to find out why its not
mounting by itself.
Thanks
