Preventing internal backup disk(s) from mounting at boot
On my Mac Pro, SuperDuper! automatically clones the boot drive to an internal disk every morning.
But I don't want the backup disk mounted when SD! is not running. Topher Kessler on Macfixit has just published a way to do this, involving fairly simple editing of system files in Terminal: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7...&subj=MacFixIt It seems to work, and SD! was able to mount the volume for a scheduled run. [Previously I used a login AppleScript and shell scripts to do this, but it was clunky, and delayed user login] |

I see someone has also written a Systems Preferences pane:
