How do I backup the data on my flash drive when I insert it in my Mac automatically.

I want it to automatically backup my files on my flash drive every time I insert it into my computer to a folder on my hard drive.  I am running Mac OS X 10.5

Time Machine does not offer backups of External drives like that, but you can use Do Something When and a little Apple Script.

I don't use a Mac day to day so I don't have one in front of me right now to test, but I am fairly sure Time Machine has a feature to do that, and if not you could write a cron scrip to do it.

SilverKeeper might also be able to do it. http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/
