Question Backup on mount notification that daily backup not made

I'm trying to think of an easy way to check whether a user has done their daily SD backup and if they haven't some how remind them.

As the backup only happens when the drive is connected it can happen anytime during the day. One idea I have is to write an AppleScript that looks at the SD logs and IF a backup was made any time during the current day the AppleScript would add an all-day event to an iCal calendar called SD Backup. This way the user can easily look in their calendar and see if they've forgotten to backup.

Any suggestions or better solutions to this?

Thanks
