Boot Concept, continued ...

Hello, I don't have a particular problem with the boot concept. However, I do want to know when various things are loaded and by what scripts. I want to configure my system to backup some critical files to a network drive every time it starts up. (it is a laptop, so I want to save the stuff that I did while not connected.) RH had a script which it executed last, after modules were loaded, but before going to run level 5. boot.local is executed before ifconfig activates networking and dhcpcd gets my ip. Suggestions? John.
