Well I almost lost my thumb drive the other week (thankfully I found it where I left it) and it had some important stuff on it.

Is there any way that I can use an application to automatically back-up the contents of the file to a specific place on my hard drive when I plug it in?

Thanks

When you plug it in? I'm not sure.

If you don't mind invoking a script, you can do this very simply in Automator.

Here's something I worked up very quickly... just to give you an idea.

Here, I am backing up my "TV Shows" folder from my external and copying it to a local folder. Automator then ejects the disk for me.
