I can run Timeshift and save to the ext HD, but when I try to backup my /home directory using Backup Tool, I get the You don't not have permission to write in the selected directory error.
The disk I'm trying to write to is /dev/sdb1.
Code: Select all
mchandler@mchandler-fitlet2:~$ blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="639C-3488" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="4e9c8e05-e23f-41a4-a29e-8dc9bb0e0cc1"
/dev/sda2: UUID="78b35f52-b118-447f-9000-91b69d3f6d41" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="9efdd136-8ab6-420c-be18-d2a8119fe800"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="341a4d92-5316-4532-a581-bd28cc9202e8" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="19fb1055-01"
mchandler@mchandler-fitlet2:~$ mount | grep sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/wwn-0x50000f001afb0a90-part1 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,data=ordered,x-gvfs-show)
Could the problem be that Timeshift runs with elevated privileges and my account doesn't?
