 - I have no need to have the drive mounted full time (backups are on NFS mounts only used for backups), so I also have systemd mount the drive for the backup, then unmount when done. Be sure to change the drive mount as well for each system.
 - For the mount service, the unit name and 'Where' setting MUST match. For example, for "Where=/mnt/mountpoint/backups", the unit must be named mnt-mountpoint-backups.mount
 - I set specific backup times in the timer unit rather than a random time +- midnight (OnCalendar=daily with a RandomizedDelaySec) so I have predictable, known times when things may be down.
-- The timer and service must have the same name (except for the .service and .timer part of course).
