&gt; &gt; This is even less illuminating than the man page.
&gt; &gt; Obviously the solution to this _very_ common problem is still
&gt; &gt; non-trivial.
&gt; 
&gt; 	I just went through much of this with my Lego USB Tower IR transceiver.
&gt; The basic idea is: you plug in the drive, and the necessary commands
&gt; execute to create a file with a very long name in /sys.  Then, two more
&gt; files come into play.  They are /etc/udev/permissions.d/*
&gt; and /etc/udev/rules.d/*.  The permissions.d entry (which can live in any
&gt; one of several files in that directory) looks like:
&gt; 
&gt; sd*:root:disk:0660
&gt; 
&gt; the first arg (separated by colons) is a shell-glob that matches the
&gt; name of the device.  The next two are the owner user and group, and the
&gt; third is the octal permissions (rw-rw---- in this case).
&gt; 
&gt; 	A simple rules.d entry looks like this:
&gt; 
&gt; KERNEL=&quot;legousbtower*&quot;, NAME=&quot;usb/%k&quot;
&gt; 
&gt; shamelessly stolen off the 'net.  There are so many variables (the
&gt; KERNEL and NAME strings above, for instance) that I can't possibly
&gt; include them all in this missive.  At any rate, the rules file should
&gt; point you toward finding how to name your backup USB drive to a constant
&gt; entry in /dev.
&gt; 
&gt; 	Hope this helps!
&gt; 
&gt; 	See <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7316";>http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7316</a> for a better explanation
&gt; than the above.
