Hello! I wonder if this is the best way to disconnect an external firewire disk (Lacie) that's used as an external backup? First I do the backup then I run the 'sync'-command in order to write down any data still in the buffer. After that I umount the disk and then I turn of the power and disconnect the disk from the computer. Before the backup starts I connect the drive and then I simply mount it. Is there any better way to do it or is this safe?
