And/Or wrap the backup script with something that checks for the mount.
Horrible shell script example:
FSMOUNT=`mount | grep -c backup`
if [ $FSMOUNT -ne "1" ]; then
echo "Backup partition not mounted, aborting"
exit 1
fi
if [ $FSMOUNT -eq "1" ]; then
echo "Backup partition found, continuing"
fi
Amusing results of disk unmounting itself during the backup left to the reader.
