If the script is too long for mail message, you could post it to a
website, and link to it here. Alternatively, it sounds like you doing
something a bit different to how others may do it. I think that
makes it a good case to add to the HantsLUG Wiki. I know you
describe yourself as a 'green horn' but I for one am interested in
how you are managing your backups.
Regarding the mounting a filesystem with a specific UID, I would
expect 'man mount' should give the details.
