Bug Description
To set up BIT for backing up to a Luks encrypted external HDD when the drive is plugged, I had to modify the udev rule.
I had to replace
ACTION=="add"
to
ACTION=="change"
in order to get BIT to start backup automatically once the disk is plugged. udev fires a 'change' event once the disk is decrypted and ready for writing, not 'add'.
BIT 1.1.24~xenial on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
