here is the error I just got:
bmike1@PresarioLapTop1:~/Desktop$ ./Backup\ bmike1
backup disk not mounted. Trying to mount it.
Is the disk plugged in? Can't mount, bailing.
bmike1@PresarioLapTop1:~/Desktop$
I then removed the drive and put it back in. Then I got the usual error:
bmike1@PresarioLapTop1:~/Desktop$ ./Backup\ bmike1
building file list ... done
rsync: mkdir "/mnt/backup/bmike1" failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(605) [Receiver=3.0.9]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605)
[sender=3.0.9]
bmike1@PresarioLapTop1:~/Desktop$
So I see the label is good. Just get the permission errors.
