First, create the ``/etc/backups`` directory (as root).
All configuration goes into this directory.
Find out the ID of the partition table of your backup disk (here assumed to be /dev/sdz):
lsblk --fs -o +PTUUID /dev/sdz
Then, create ``/etc/backups/40-backup.rules`` with the following content (all on one line)::
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="bdi", DEVPATH=="/devices/virtual/bdi/*",
TAG+="systemd", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="automatic-backup.service"
.. topic:: Finding a more precise udev rule
If you always connect the drive(s) to the same physical hardware path, e.g. the same
eSATA port, then you can make a more precise udev rule.
Execute ``udevadm monitor`` and connect a drive to the port you intend to use.
You should see a flurry of events, find those regarding the `block` subsystem.
Pick the event whose device path ends in something similar to a device file name,
typically`sdX/sdXY`. Use the event's device path and replace `sdX/sdXY` after the
`/block/` part in the path with a star (\*). For example:
`DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/*"`.
Reboot a few times to ensure that the hardware path does not change: on some motherboards
components of it can be random. In these cases you cannot use a more accurate rule,
or need to insert additional stars for matching the path.
