Automatic Backup Volume Checking

The first step to this is to create a script which checks the following properties of a backup volume. In addition, there should be checks in place for available free disk space (check elsewhere in the developer pages for details).

• permissions
• access control lists
• free disk space
• locks (backup already running)
• HFS+ support on backup volume

The long term goals of Automatic Backup Volume Checking is to ensure that before a backup commences the backup volume will support various meta-data.
