Public bug reported: To set up BIT for backing up to a Luks encrypted external HDD when the drive is plugged, I had to modify the udev rule.
I had to replace ACTION=="add" to ACTION=="change" in order to get BIT to start backup automatically once the disk is plugged. udev fires a 'change' event once the disk is decrypted and ready for writing, not 'add'.
