Hi
I am running Linux Mint 21.1 XFCE desktop on an IBM laptop with a
docking station (IBM, specific for laptop model range)
I have an external USB drive which I use to backup to and is mounted via
a line in fstab at bootup
UUID=d90c0c04-8484-453f-9286-ab5e40cfe62f /media/backup ext4
rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
I use Backintime to do my backups, it is schedule to run daily, one
problem is that sometimes it complains that it can not find the snapshot
[E] Can't find snapshots folder.
If it is on a removable drive, please plug it in.
Waiting 30 seconds.
If I check my backup drive it says it is mounted and if I open the drive
(clicking the icon on the desktop) it will display the folders and start
the backup
Here are the permission for the mount point
mit@NX1:~$ ls -l /media
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 mit mit 4096 Aug 31 2020 backup
drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 Dec 29 07:04 mit
drwxr-xr-x 2 mit mit 4096 Jun 20 2021 nas
drwxr-xr-x 3 mit mit 4096 Jan 1 21:57 spare
I have not been able to find any pattern to how often it will miss the
snapshot
Any suggestion
Tim H
