[plug] removable media backup drives

[Craig Foster]

Which drives handle that? IDE can get *very* upset when hot 
swapped by anything other a combo sync/umount/sleep - and 
even then the system doesn't like it much.

Could you forward a link to the list for the scripts? Either
way, I wouldn't mind seeing if I've missed something.
