Comment 7 for bug 780986

+1.
I use external hard-drive only for backups. I plug it in only when Deja-Dup asks me to. It'd be nice if there were an option to unmount the disk when the backup is done.

I want to unmount and unplug my external hdd to keep it in a safe place. Now unmounting is the only thing, that I have do with my system to perform a backup. Ideally I'd just want:

1. Get notified by Deja-Dup, that the disk is needed for scheduled backup
2. plug in disk
3. Disk gets automatically mounted
4. Get notified by Deja-Dup that the backup is done
5. remove the disk.

It seems like it's not a big deal, but nobody likes doing backups. I think it'd be great, if we could streamline user's interactions with the system to the bare minimum.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't unmounting necessary to make sure that all data was actually writen to the medium (at least in case of some media)? The point can be made, that this change could increase the reliability of backups. Many less technical people unplug stuff without unmounting.
