You'll need to put a check in your script to make sure your NFS directory is
mounted. Something like this will work:
if mount|grep -q '/mnt/BackupDrive';
then
echo 'Backup Already Mounted';
else
echo 'Mounting Backup';
if mount /mnt/BackupDrive;
then
echo 'Backup Mounted';
else
echo 'BackupDrive failed to mount. Exiting.';
exit 1;
