It looks like mlocate.db is updated on command of systemd.  

I want to have updatedb create two databases, one indexing my backup
device (/srv/UpdateDevice), which is a removable filesystem containing
a complete backup of (the rest of) my system, and the other
indexing  the complete system, including the backup device.  If
mlocate.db were created via a cron command this would be easy.  Since
actually the command comes from systemd, which I'm not familiar with,
it's not so easy.  Any hints?

Thanks - jon
