   Follow-up.   
      
   After successfully completing a backup (except see below),   
   I then had trouble again.   
      
   The backups were writing to the mount point.I   
      
   After faffing about for a bit, I realised that only happened when the   
   target drive had not actually been mounted. I now want to inhibit the   
   backup starting if the target drive had not yet mounted properly. I   
   haven't done that yet but I did find:   
      
   findmnt   
      
   This is a  user-friendly command that returns ann idiot-proof tree of all   
   mounted drives. Perfect for me!   
      
   (And maybe you, which is why I posted it here.)   
      
   If you are offended, I aplogise profusely.   
   I have been learning how to do this from our politicians.   
      
   Regards,   Alan   
      
   Sorry the (except).   
   The backup should have gone to /spare/albury/Data but instead went   
   to /spare/albury/Data/Data. A slash to few or too many I guess.
