Trying to Set a Second Internal Hard Drive for /home Backup

[Boricua]

I searched the net looking for an updated how-to based on Fedora, without success, so perhaps someone around here can provide me some hints.
Until recently, I have been running F9 64bit on 2 Maxtor 300Gb SATA HDs connected via RAID 1. After a bumpy upgrade (and re-installation) to F10 64bit beta, I confronted problems with GRUB recognizing RAID, so I discarded RAID and I'm running F10 in the 1st HD alone. In order to avoid mayor headaches in the future, I'm planning the following:

1. To get the second HD to automount and become accessible by me as user
2. Set fwbackups to make daily backups of my entire /home directory to the 2nd HD using rsync

As already told, I found very little as to how to accomplish this under Fedora (most of what I found is geared to Ubuntu users). So far, I found gparted recognizes the 2nd HD as sbd, and I created a mount point at /media/Home2. But that's it.
As you may guess, my goal is to be able to restore all my data/settings after a full re-installation of future Fedoras on the 1st HD. Of course, I intend to use other backup methods as well; just trying to simplify my life a little bit as beta tester .
Any hint appreciated.

Check my backup scripts, goes in your /etc/cron.daily.

ybackup.cron does the actual backup of /etc, /var, & /home

zbackup.cron list the files that are backuped by tar. Shows me it does its work thru e-mail.

You see in both scripts:
mount /mnt/backup
umount /mnt/backup
That is my third drive, the first two drive is my RAID 0(performance).

I'm not understanding how you plan to use fwbackups and rsync together, why? Can't you use fwbackup and have it backup to your 2nd drive?

Hi, and thanks for answering. Yes, fwbackups has an option for doing a copy of the folders/files using rsync as an engine, as well as compresing using tar format and others. I haven't tried the rsync option yet because I've been making backups to an external hard drive instead. Now that I decided to use my second internal HD as destination I though about using the rsync engine via fwbackups.
