[Gllug] couple of quick questions (USB stick and backups)

1) On one machine I set up recently, auto mount of USB memory sticks is 
not working. When I plug the stick in, it gets recognised as /dev/sdb1, 
and a mount point /mnt/removable is created. /dev/sdb1 gets added to 
/etc/fstab correctly. If I manually do "mount /mnt/removable", then the 
stick is mounted and all is OK. What is missing that prevents this last 
step from being done ?

2) I'm looking for backup software that can back up a running Linux 
system to an external drive. Does anybody have any good recommendations ?
