OK, so you don't need to worry about write wear, but I still don't see
why you need real-time mirroring. A script to sync the drive before
unmounting would give you an accurate mirror. A cron script to check if
the drive is mounted and sync it every hour would cut down on the amount
of data to sync when unmounting.

of W. Shakespeare but all they got was the collected works of Francis
Bacon
