alternate backup destination?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to set up an alternate backup location in case the default one is not present (like an external hard drive).

For instance, I would like to set it up so that it first checks if the ftp site is available so I can do an online backup.  If that was not available (not connected to the internet), I want to be able to backup to an external hard drive that I have.  If that still doesn't work, I'd like to backup to a special partition on my internal hard drive.

Is there any way to do this using sbackup?

Thanks

THis can be done with bash scripting using sbackupd command-line arguments, like this:

if -x /first/backup/dir; do sbackupd --config=/etc/sbackup.first.conf; elif; do sbackupd --config=/etc/sbackup.second.conf; fi

(I do not remember bash syntax at the moment, but you get the idea)
