any help appreciated, regards, niko.
I don't know how to do that exactly, but SD 2.1.3 can schedule a backup, and if the target drive is not mounted when it starts, it gets mounted, the backup runs, then dismounted when complete. You can use Grow (mailme) to email backup status to yourself. Also, Growl can write a log file if for any reason the mailme itself fails (like if you network is down, for example).

Using that in conjunction when a scheduled startup or wake using Apple's Energy Saver control panel can insure that your backup get done when you want it.
