I am trying to run the 'backup to a spare disk' in this example:

My question is
Why i need to to this:
mount /backup/$d
If i have an external disk, it will be under /media/disk directory,
why I need to mount?
It sounds like your system is being clever and automatically mounting
the disk when you plug it in, so you don't need to mount the disk
yourself.
And what is the meaning of '-exclude fstab' here?
rsync -ax --exclude fstab --delete /$d/ /backup/$d/
That option tells rsync not to touch any file named "fstab" anywhere
in the transfer. I'm not sure why the author of the example used it.
