How is this other drive configured? Is it an entry in fstab? And you
were entering its path as a Local Folder storage location?
If so, we didn't previously do anything special about mounting fstab
entries for you. But I just added some code to try that.
Could you give a beta build a try and see if it works for you?

Title:
Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
Status in Déjà Dup:
Incomplete
Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I have set my backup destination to a separate drive in the machine,
but not at the default location.
When the backup runs, it fails stating permission denied, as the
destination drive is not mounted.
When I enter the proper destination in the backup at the "storage
location", the drive then mounts and is present on the desktop. Then
the backup will run successfully.
I then "unmount" the drive using the menu on the drive icon, and the
mounted drive disappears from the desktop. I don't need a bunch of
drives listed or shown on my desktop, as it detracts from the beauty
of the screen.
If I mount the drive before running the backup, it will succeed.
My point with this is that I am not going to mount the drive every
time I run backup, and when mounted, I don't need it listed or shown
on my desktop.
In unity, the drives appeared in the launcher or dock, and there was
an option to "remove from launcher", which still left the drive
mounted, but off the desktop and launcher. This was a nice way to fix
this problem.
