You'd probably also want to make sure that the drive name is unique, so you don't get it mounting with a trailing number that may not correspond to the script.

I get the error:
| Error | /Users/Fred/mount-drive-for-superduper.sh: line 42: /Users/Fred/.source: No such file or directory
What is this invisible file? And how can I generate it? Thank you for your help.

OOps.
My bad. You can simply run this command:
touch ~/.source

a) I don't think my script is necessary. The developer said that SuperDuper will automatically mount/unmount the drive if needed
b) ~ is a Unix short cut for $HOME
c) You probably need to get into Terminal and paste this command (including the " marks!) Make sure it is ALL ONE LINE:
Excellent script, thanks. I clone my main drive to a backup in my Mac Pro every evening. Your script will solve a problem I've had for a while where everything's duplicated in 'Launch Services' because OSX finds all the duplicate applications on my clone drive. The only thing I can't solve is that the disk mount requests my password, and therefore I can't leave the automatic clone update to run unattended. Do you have any suggestions for this?

Hrm. I don't know why it requests your password. I used that command specifically because it does not request my password. Sorry I don't have an answer.
