I tried it and it works for me. I think I know what the problem is. Are
you trying to backup your home drive to /media/(something) or the drive
that appears in nautilus? You cannot back up something to /dev/sda1 as
that is just the device address. If you did not know, it saves the
backup as a .dar file.

If you cannot get it to work, you can always go:
cp -R -u ~ /media/sda1
This will copy your entire home directory to the folder /media/sda1.
You can repeat this command every time you want the backup to be updated. All 
existing files will be updated if the replacing file is newer.

The usage for the command is:
cp -R -u [source directory] [target directory]

-R makes it copy recursively
-u makes it update older files

I am sorry, but I am rejecting this bug, as there does not appear to be
one. You can reopen it if you feel otherwise.
